Hi! My name is Claire Myers, and this is my first year being a part of The Leaf staff.
I am a senior at Sycamore High School.
I joined The Leaf staff because I love to write and meet new people. I feel that being a part of The Leaf is one of the best ways to do just that.
I am a staff writer, which means that I write different stories for all of the issues that we bring out. I am so excited to be able to write for The Leaf this year and be able to watch as we grow as a staff throughout the year.
I just moved back to Sycamore from Houston, Texas after living there for three years. There, I was involved with the newspaper staff, too.
I am also a part of the Teaching Professions Academy (TPA) here at Sycamore High School, which I really enjoy.
