Hello, my name is Jadyn Barrow. I’m 16 years old, and I will be a junior at Druid Hills High School. I have lived in Atlanta for five years. However, I was born in Chicago, and raised in Miami. I absolutely love visiting places like the ocean and lake because I enjoy getting outside and exploring nature. Some of my hobbies include, reading, writing, swimming, spending time with friends and family, shopping and more. However, my favorite hobby is writing. I have always had a passion for it. Whether it was writing essays or making up my own stories, writing was always something important to me.
In the beginning of my freshmen year, I decided to join the Saga Yearbook Staff, where I could be a part of creating the school yearbook. Joining the yearbook staff sparked interest because I was able to use writing and photography skills. During school and even outside, I would spend time interviewing students and staff, taking photos, editing my work and designing spreads. It was a lot of hard work, but in the end, it was completely worth it. Going into my sophomore year, I was honored to have the position as editor-in-chief of the Saga Yearbook for Druid Hills, and I was so thrilled. I had a major leadership role and it was under my responsibility that the yearbook was made well and consisted of all events. I enjoyed covering all the stories that my school and community had to offer since it brought out my inner journalist. Overall, the main goal I had as a journalist was that every story got heard, no matter the topic.
In the end, the most valuable thing I gained from joining my school’s yearbook staff was that I wanted to be a journalist in the future and I wanted to base my career around that. I plan on majoring in journalism in college and then continue on with being a journalist.
