As the year winds down, I’ve had time to reflect on how I’ve spent my time both the good and the bad. I joined Knight Writers two years ago, drawn in by the idea of making videos. At the time, I knew absolutely nothing about it, so I had to start from scratch. It took effort, persistence, and patience, but I slowly began understanding, enjoying the process, and working to hone my skills. Beyond video work and the occasional written story, it’s the memories I’ve made with others that really stand out. The field trips, the time spent collaborating, and the joy of doing something I love with friends made it all worthwhile. Creating videos and exploring different school programs taught me so many things I would’ve never taken the time to learn otherwise. To all the staff of Knight Writers and anyone else who may read this: push yourself out of your comfort zone. There were moments when I felt doubt and overwhelming lethargy, but pushing through those times turned out to be one of the most rewarding things I’ve done. And if you ever get the chance maybe make a video.

About the Contributor

Coleton Rone, Staff Writer
Coleton Rone is a junior and a staff writer for the Knight Writers. This is his first year on staff.
Rone is looking toward being one of the new hosts for the Knight Writers’ very own Knight Mic and is most excited for the environment and excitement that surrounds it.
“I joined newspaper because I thought I would have a lot of fun doing the interviews [for Knight Mic],” Rone said. “I’m excited for the football games specifically…I think the interviews there are going to be very enjoyable because the environment at [football games] is an experience of its own.”
Outside of journalism, Rone enjoys tapping into his musical side, he enjoys listening to music and playing his instruments. He plays bass guitar on his own, but academically, Rone plays double bass for Orchestra.
Aside from music, Rone is a true fitness enthusiast at heart, as he enjoys testing his physical limits with weightlifting. He expresses this passion of his by lifting at least 4 times per week.
When he isn’t becoming a rising musician and expressing his athletic abilities, Rone spends his free time with his many pets but primarily his cat named Duck while watching Amazing World of Gumball.
When asked about his greatest inspiration, the top person that comes to his mind is his Dad.
“…he’s a good person [with] good moral values, and he doesn’t do anything despicable or evil,” Rone said.
After he leaves Robinson, Rone isn’t quite sure what he will do next. He plans on either going to a 4 year university to major in business, or going to a trade school to learn more about a career in mechanics.
