I’m Gracin Harlow Stein, named after famous actresses Grace Kelly and Jean Harlow. I was born April 12th, 2010 and am entering eighth grade at The Premo School. I live in Marietta, Georgia, which is right outside of Atlanta. However, I was born in California, then I moved to Georgia, then Maryland, then California, then I moved back to Georgia. I have two brothers: Campbell, who goes by Cam, and Ryland. Cam is 8 years old and lives at home. Ryland is 15 years old and attends a boarding school in Utah.
I’m attending this journalism camp for two main reasons: I want to be a journalist and I like to write. My dream is to be a global travel journalist. Although I’ve never had any experience in journalism, I enjoy creative writing, specifically stories about crime. My favorite types of journalism are news and opinion pieces. I love writing opinion pieces because I can express my opinions without people telling me I’m too opinionated, which is something a teacher has said to me.
I wouldn’t say I’m any more interesting than the next person, but I still have unique aspects of my personality and life. I never read the news, but I read romance and fantasy books. Currently, I’m reading the fourth book in the ‘Lockwood & Co.’ series by Jonathon Stroud. I enjoy analyzing books and shows, looking at questions of why a character did something or why they didn’t.
