Hello, I am Shirley Pierre, a senior in the Journalism Academy, also an editor-in-chief and videographer for GroveWatch. In my last year I also want to build up our school's Forecast magazine to its finest, with fresh stories that will capture audiences' attention to want more every time a new edition comes out. I love gory anime (that's not weird at all) and I love the shows: The Walking Dead, iZombie, The Fosters, Awkward, American Horror Story, Supernatural, Bates Motel, New Girl and My Mad Fat Diary. Our adviser Mr. Hanif is one of the people who sees the true potential in me, and by sticking by his side and taking his advice, I believe I will get far. I first realized that I wanted to become a journalist in middle school when I would see how much fun the reporters on the show Good Morning America were having. Inlet Grove has given me an inside view of the career. I am grateful that I didn't have to spend years at high school contemplating what I wanted to become when I am older. Journalism gets me out of my comfort zone. It lets me express myself in my writing as I inform the public about current events.
