Chicka Chicka Yeahhh

My name is Savannah Perry and I attend Lakeside High School, where this year I'll finally be an upperclassman (sadly just a junior, but it still counts, right?). I've loved writing ever since I can remember. The possibilities and ideas are absolutely endless and no one can tell you what's right and what's wrong, for it's your work and you make all of the decisions.
I started getting into journalism when I was in the fifth grade. Two of my friends and I wrote and produced our school's very first newspaper, and continued to do so the rest for the rest of the year. After the amateur hour in elementary school, I moved up to a real paper in middle school. Once I was done with the paper, I decided to try out broadcasting on WHMS, the school's morning announcements. This was some of the most fun I've ever had, and I definitely think everyone should test it out and see what it's like.
Now I'm the upcoming Features Editor of the Lakeside Legend. This paper has really changed my life and improved my writing skills like I never could have imagined. I'm hoping this camp will have the same effect as Newspaper has had on me (and I'm happy to report that so far, it has!).
As for my adult life, I would kill to be the Bureau Chief of a magazine, or the Editor in Chief of a newspaper. In case that doesn't work out though, I think pursuing a job in public relations would be great. I love people and love going to and planning fun events, which is basically the life of a PR girl. It'd be too much fun.
I'm so excited to be writing in the same section as all of you! This paper's going to be the best one yet.
