[The last time I felt shameful was when] I yelled at the kids for not doing what they were supposed to do. They were fighting in the lunchroom. This was before I came here.I just had to go out there and tell them, ‘Stop!’ I got between both of them, and they were like, ‘You’re going to get hit.’ And I’m like, ‘Well if you hit me, you hit me I guess because you’re not fighting in my lunchroom.’ Just having to yell at the kids [made me feel shameful].. I don’t like to yell at nobody like that. I’m just an easygoing person, but to get their attention, I had to yell.

About the Writers

Leah Dewey, Journalist

Leah is a junior at Community and this is her first year on staff. Outside of school, she does theater at Pioneer and interns as a wildlife rehabilitator at Howell Nature Center. All of Leah’s writing is done alongside her trusty canine sidekick, Chase. Leah also loves random science facts, so if you know any, please go and tell her!

Tai Tworek, Print Editor-in-Chief

This is Tai’s fourth year on staff and second year as a member of the Print Editor-in-Chief team. When she’s not designing pages or writing articles, she is usually spending time with her grandma, playing soccer for Skyline or Detroit City FC, working at Dairy Queen, or trying to become TikTok famous. She has a strong love for oatmeal, the word “swag” and overalls.

Arista Luong, Social Media Editor-in-Chief

This is Arista’s fourth year on staff and second year as one of the Social Media Editors-in-Chief. When she’s not in room 300, you can find her at Chatime. In the rare instance she’s not in either of those places, you can find her at the library working through piles of Ochem and Calc 2 homework, (which she enjoys a little too much). Arista also enjoys walking her bear-like dog, Bailey, in the arb, going to the gym and woodworking. One of her favorite parts of journalism is connecting with members of her community.
