Being a part of newspaper has been a big and enjoyable part of Mora’s high school career, and they are glad they made the choice to join their sophomore year.
“To be honest a class I really enjoyed was photojournalism and I think that’s what sparked my love for photography; I think that’s what motivated me to join newspaper and to really be a part of this community,” Mora stated. “ I think it definitely took me out of my comfort zone and I'm grateful for the newspaper because I feel that it made me a more outgoing person and has been a huge part of my high school career.”
