Since I was about seven or eight years old, I have had an interest in writing. It started in second grade when I went to a writing summer camp. I started out writing poems and short stories. A couple of years ago, I discovered my interest in journalism when I joined an online automotive platform called DriveTribe. Since then, I have written many articles about various car-related topics. I am looking forward to writing for School Buzz because it will allow me to exercise my interest in journalism while also practicing new types of journalism. What makes my school stand out is the amount of freedom given to the students. Just the fact that I have the opportunity to participate in this program through my school is a perfect example of the room that the school gives its students to express themselves.
