Imagine yourself living in a beautiful house in Montana with a nice family. Well, for Brooke Strickler, she has already imagined it. She hopes for that to be her future, and she hopes for a stable job in photojournalism. As she thinks about her future, she reflects on being a senior. Brooke feels as if the worst thing about being a senior is knowing that it is ending soon, and also that she feels like she has to figure out a bunch of huge life decisions in a matter of a couple months and the unknown of what will happen after highschool. Brooke feels that high school prepares us for the education aspect of college, but not so much in the independence and self accountability aspect.

About the Contributor
Montana Walters, Staff Reporter
Montana has always questioned who she is. When she was younger, she was obsessed with anything Disney, Barbie, and video games. But now Montana finds herself struggling to figure out what she is truly passionate about. She likes specific movies but expresses that even that passion fades after a while. One thing, though, has always stuck with Montana: writing. Throughout her life, she would write a lot of short stories. Most of them, she admits, were not up to par, but she slowly grew as a writer. Montana studied grammar and found herself getting better grades on essays in school. Montana says that this skill she gained helps qualify her as a news writer, as she can structure her writing better.
