<p>The Blueprint
11, (12)
Online newsmagazine founded by me and my friend. We have a lot of support from both staff and students, and hopefully will get the website up and running this summer! We're both really passionate about writing and never had time to take the journalism class (which was not highly recommended, anyways) at our school, so we just decided to start our own newsmagazine by students, for students! I'm really excited about this and hopefully everything works out!!</p>

Regular volunteer at the local library
Planning on volunteering at the hospital this summer
