Hi! My name is Emma, and I am a freshman as Sycamore High School. I just moved here this year from Shanghai, China. I moved because of my parents’ jobs. Back in Shanghai, I also wrote articles for our school’s news team, reporting on activities throughout the school year. This year, I want to not only write about the school’s activities, but I also want to learn about how to cover bigger issues in the world right now. I think that journalism can increase my awareness of the world and also improve my writing skills.

As for some hobbies, I enjoy are debating and ice skating. As a debater, I mainly write opinion and argumentative essays so I think it is important to broaden my style of writing and also to improve my content for opinion writing, and that is why I joined Journalism. I hope to achieve that this year in Journalism class!

There has recently been an under reporting of cases in China and misreporting of cases in countries all over the world. Reports argued that at least 28,000 more people have died during the coronavirus pandemic over the last month than official COVID-19 death counts report. Numbers have effects on people; governments need to be more transparent.

PANIC BUYING. Throughout the past month or so, people all around the world have been visiting grocery stores and bought out most supplies related to the prevention of coronavirus such as hand sanitizer or face masks. However, even though toilet paper doesn’t really help us in any way against the coronavirus, both its intrinsic and extrinsic value seemed to jump up. But why? Is it a mentality that you need to take some action when the world is out of control? Or other reasons such as logistics?
