Zoi’ . Pronounced Zo-ey , meaning long life . Life to live beyond years of wisdom, power, emotional and mental stability.
Zoi Bascom, age 17 going into my senior year of high school. I love reading Wattpad stories and twirling. I plan to major in the medical field, but minor in politics. Over the years I have came to learn more about myself: I’m 5’2, I enjoy eating fruit snacks, my favorite show is Avatar, and my favorite movie is either Twilight or Divergent. I learned how to twirl a baton in 2021 and grew a strong love for it. I have a dog named Ari but we like to call her ” bear ” because she acts like a little bear. I used to write my own books but soon fell out of it when I realized writers block was a thing.
I have little to no experience when it comes to journalism. I did my school’s yearbook, but our yearbook isn’t the average teenage high school year books (lol) . We more so blogged about our experience than what the school actually is . Journalism seems cool especially because I love politics , kinda why I’m watching Scandal right now but also because sports entertainment is so cool to me. Athlete interviews, the inside scoop on a high school student getting offers in a sport he loves is so interesting to me and it’s an interesting story to tell . Writing has always been cool to me and I’d like to learn more about it . I heard there’s journalists positions in the White House like the people who write the New York Times , Vogue blogs , the presidents council speech etc ..
Sports wise I’m a lot more experienced there . I’ve been running track since middle school but soon stopped when covid hit , which was end of my 8th grade year and my whole freshman yea . Going into my sophomore year I wanted to start again but I knew my body wasn’t physically ready so I took my talents into dance, and started twirling my sophomore year and loved it . Baton twirling became a passion to me because not many girls do it, especially black girls at a majority black school so it was nice to try and now the team is still going . Twirling is my forever first love , but track has my heart as well .
