Hello, I’m Kaylee Hernandez, a junior. This will be my second year doing Spotlight and the reason why I still continue doing this is because I like the environment and also doing stories and taking pictures and this class is a great way to know what’s going in in this school. I like running and listening to various genres of music and reading and sometimes baking. I hope you guys like my work, and I hope everyone has an amazing school year.
