Hi, my name is Maya Krzywosz, and I’m a freshman at Foran High School. This is my first year taking journalism, and I am a staff writer. I picked journalism because I thought it would be a really fun class, and I wanted to do something different. In my free time, I enjoy going out on walks, hanging out with my friends, and reading. Another thing about myself is that I love history.
