Hi, I’m Gabby. I’m a senior at MHS this year and its my second year on Crier. I took creative writing my freshman year and I took J1 my sophomore year. I have enjoyed reading and writing since I was a little kid and it has always been part of my life in the best way possible. I enjoy surrounding myself with literature as well as writing my own stuff. I plan on continuing with journalism in college.
