Mariam Abdalla, Staff Reporter
Hi my name is Mariam and this is my first year in Journalism! I love writing about books! I often write stories for my blog “the book breakdown.” I also love writing about mental health awareness which you can check out here: https://youthnexdrive.virginia.edu/hidden-cost-academic-pressure-teens
Apart from school I love hanging out with my friends/family, reading, and I love to bake. I’m super excited to be a part of the newspaper team this year, and I can’t wait to see all the progress we make.
