18 Years Old
First Year on the Riptide Staff
Since I started High School I’ve thought about joining the Riptide. I’ve always enjoyed writing, and thought that the newspaper would be a good place for me to expand my writing ability, but for one reason or another I never actually signed up to join the newspaper. It wasn’t until I was finally approached by the Riptide’s advisor, Mr. Denlinger, to be the website’s Online Editor that I finally joined.
I spend most of my free time indulged in one of three things: music, books, and movies. I practice and play guitar almost every day, and if I don’t have an instrument in my hands there’s a good chance I’m listening to some music. I’m an avid reader, though admittedly I probably spend too much time reading the same authors and genres instead of expanding my horizons. I enjoy writing as well, but don’t spend nearly as much of my time doing that as I do my other hobbies. I also greatly enjoy watching movies from all over the world and throughout history. Some of my favorite directors include Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, and Park Chan-wook.
I’m excited to be working on the riptide, and with so many talented people.
