Writing is one of my many passions along with playing the piano, binge watching Netflix, and of course sleeping. As of now, my favorite shows are Friends and Gilmore Girls, but that keeps on changing. I also love to listen to music, which I do everywhere and anywhere.

Recent discussions have brought issues with gender and racial discrimination to light. Unfortunately, these problems seem to be present at Westwood High School as well, with students coming forward about the injustices they faced at this school. This can be fixed however, by promoting discussion and stricter disciplinary action against people who perpetuate a culture of hate.
