My name is Ava and this is my freshman year after high school I’m not sure what I wanna do yet but I think I’m gonna go to college. I was born in Virginia and lived here my whole life this is my first time taking journalism in the first semester. I signed up for journalism to become a better reader and writer and I want to be able to write an article that can be published. I want to change other people’s points of view on different kinds of stories. I used to play softball for years when I was younger and i may play again this fall. I also used to have 3 dogs and 4 guinea pigs but, unfortunately, I only have one dog now. I have been homeschooled for 4 years and this is my first year back since 4th grade.
