Sierra: Ebullience!!

Yes, I did just say (or, rather, type) ebullience! It's because I am extremely excited about what's been happening the past couple of weeks! Would you like to know? Of course you would!!

  1. School is ending in 7 days exactly (not counting weekends)!!!! And on top of that, I am doing very well in my classes! If I can get my AP Gov grade to stay steady, I'll end the year with all A's and one B!!!I'm so extremely proud that all of the work I've put in this year has paid off. Finals start this friday, wish me bien suerte!
  2. Next year, I will be able to write for the Redford Observer (our township newspaper) and boy I cannot wait! I've been waiting for this moment since freshman year!!!
  3. I got elected onto the Public Relations exec board for National Honors Society at my school! This is the first year we've had an exec board because they couldn't choose between the other candidate and I! Bahhhhhhh!!!!!!!
  4. I also got elected to be Historian for AKA Teens (the community service group I'm in)! "Historian" is just a fancy name for public relations/journalist lady so I get to write, edit, video tape, photograph, and publish all that happens in the group! Can I get a "Whoop whoop"?
  5. I am now a Jr. Correspondent writer for Brownstone Magazine!!! About every other week, my stories will be featured on the website! I love this especially because it specifically reaches out to black girls and tells them "you can do this!"So, check me out sometime!
  6. This is what I'm most proud of: I am the official FOUNDER and president of my high schools first Creative Writing Club!!! AHHHHHH! You don't know the feeling, it's like I've had a baby! I can't wait to start the clubs online literary journal (I'll be posting the link, of course) full of raps, poems, stories...AH!!
Well, that's all folks. I am extremely blessed. Next step: Get accepted into Northwestern!!!

XOXO

A Letter for Kay: Advice to New College Students

Here's a wild fact: I graduate in less than a week. And even though I've known that fact for a while now (except, maybe, right before my econ final), it's still not real enough. I still cannot fathom how these last four years flew by but at the same time went excruciatingly slow. It's been a hell of a ride, let me tell you. Northwestern was my dream school for as long as I can remember. I applied early decision because there was never another option for me, honestly. I wanted to go to the best journalism school, despite snarky remarks from classmates insinuating that I wasn't good enough. And when I got in , honey, excited was an understatement. I started my first day of college in 2013. And now I'll be walking across a stage to get this expensinve diploma in a week. I can't say it's all been pleasant - because it hasn't. It's been a tough ride many days, some I wondered if this day would ever come. Some I felt so isolated and alone that I f

Bienvenidos a Argentina: Be Kind to Yourself

Today marks the end of 2017's first full week! I hope the year is off to a rejuvinating start for everyone. Oh, and today also marks the end of my first week in Buenos Aires, Argentina! For those of you who don't know, I'll be interning here until the end of March. As any journalist would, I definitely did my homework on Argentina before getting here. The food, the music, the culture at large - and how I would fit in with it. As with any place, there's a variety of experiences people had. Here are some of mine, as well as thoughts and some photos I took along the way. Being in Argentina has already showed me the beauty in slowing down. In the U.S., and ESPECIALLY at universities like Northwestern, it is extremely normalized to stay busy and moving at 300000 mph. If we're idle, we're being inefficient. If there's too much time to relax, we're being lazy. That can grow to be exhausting and toxic as all get out.  But here? On the contrary. Here it'
