I am a junior, this is my first year on silverstreak and my second year living in Texas.  Although I have come to condiser this vast grassland my home and the newspaper staff my family, there’s still quiet a bit to get used to.  Such as waking up to the smell that natives refer to as “money” that never fails to trigger my gag reflex and investing into an entire inventory of  bath and body works’  lotions because of the brutal aridness.  Deadlines has become a curse word. The words make me cringe in anticipation of long hours of homework.  All my classes especially newspaper require quite a bit of dedication and attention, which is asking a lot out of me considering that I have the attention spand of a two year old….. squirrell!  Hi there. Anyways,  along with newspaper I play the trumpet in the Randall Raider Rythym which won first place at Putnam this year!  This will hopefully be the first win this year out of many. I’m also in National Honor Society and attend The Rock Nondemonational Church.  I have no idea where I’m going to college or what I want to major in.  I’m just going to follow the coursing river they call life and see where it takes me.  I love music, writing, my friends and family, and tasty food.  I try to include them in my life as much as I can.
