I am a staff writer with the Clipper student newspaper. I will educate and inform others through my unique writing style. I want to continue to read and write as often as I can to improve my skills.I am a pagan practitioner who follows the lunar moon calendar. I mainly work with the zodiac signs. I will use the zodiac signs to help guide myself through my journey. Did you know that you have more than just your sun sign? You have a zodiac sign for every planet in the sky. I work with the Norse god Loki and the Greek goddess Artemis. I have been practicing for as long as I can remember. I try to recycle and take care of our planet in small ways. Our planet Earth can’t survive without our help to take care of it. Its hard to stay positive through all the darkness that the world goes through. I want to find joy in life's positive moments.
