“I think there’s a really important difference between like ‘love you’ and ‘I love you’ because adding the ‘I’ makes it a lot more personal. I also think it’s a lot easier to just say ‘I love you too,’ because it’s not like you’re initiating it. I tell my friends and my family that I love them — anyone that I’m really close with and have a connection with. I do say I love you to my friends a lot, but I have to get comfortable with them first. I don’t think I told people I loved them as much in elementary school — not to my friends, at least, but I definitely still said it to my family. Once I got a little bit older, I understood what it meant to me, so now it carries more weight. To have someone say ‘I love you’ to me gives me a really big sense of importance to that person. It’s very confirming, like you mean something to someone.”

About the Contributors
Lucia Page Sander, Print Editor-in-Chief
This is Lucia's sixth semester on staff, third as an Editor-in-Chief, and first as a Print Editor-in-Chief. When she's not playing soccer for the Michigan Jaguars, competing for Lily Weightlifting, or enjoying her many responsibilities at CHS, you can find her in the Huron River, on the phone with last year's Communicator EICs, or jumping on her mini trampoline. Lucia loves surfing, watermelon, all things agriculture, and is in the process of learning how to predict the weather using clouds and enjoy long-distance running. She is anticipating a spectacular final year at Community and the helm of The Communicator.
Clara Freeth, Print Editor-in-Chief
This is Clara's third year on staff, her second as an Editor-in-Chief. When she's not in room 300 or at the Huron turf for field hockey or lacrosse practice, she can be found wandering around her neighborhood listening to one of her carefully curated playlists or living out her secret life as Hannah Montana — but don't tell anyone. This year, she is one-fourth of the print team and couldn't be more excited for what is ahead!
Leila Durrie, Social Media Editor-in-Chief
Leila is happy to be back for her third and (sadly) final year on Communicator!

She also enjoys traveling, being outdoors, concerts, thrifting, and spending time with friends. She loves multimedia and is excited to work with everyone to make Social Media and all Communicator publications super great this year!!
