This is Senior Ashlyn Miller's third year on the Knight Writers staff and her second year in an editorial position, previously serving as the Sports Editor and now as a Co-Editor-in-Chief. Originally, Miller did not intend to take the class, describing her random placement as "luck." She was assigned to Newspaper in her sophomore year and has remained in it since. "I think I got into Newspaper by luck," Miller said. "It just happened, and I loved it. I really enjoy the creative freedoms that it gives me." Miller plays many roles within the Robinson community. She is not only a part of the Knight Writers, but is also involved in various clubs and sports, including ROTC, where she serves as an Executive Officer; Girl Up, where she is the President and Founder; Student 2 Student, where she is an Officer; KOSB (Keeping Our School Beautiful), where she is an Officer; the Swim team; and the Orchestra and Band. If that wasn't enough to illustrate how busy Miller keeps herself, she also finds time to pursue her own hobbies outside of Robinson, such as painting, other artistic activities, sports photography and sports in general. "I love fall because I love watching and keeping up with college football. I don't really care about the NFL, I just feel like college has so much more passion behind it," Miller said. "My family my whole life has bonded over Alabama football in particular, which nobody at school really gets. That just makes it feel more special to me and my family." As Co-Editor-in-Chief, Miller has many goals for the Knight Writers, which include not only accumulating awards but also helping all staffers learn and improve their journalistic skills. Last school year was a victory for the Knight Writers, as they earned a Sunshine Standout for their print publication as well as an All-Florida for both their online and print editions. Miller has high hopes, aiming to win a Pacemaker, the highest achievement a publication can achieve. With it being her senior year, Miller hopes to attend the University of Florida to pursue an undergraduate degree in nursing before attending Physician Assistant school. "I would like to work mainly in women's health. Part of what makes me love journalism so much is the idea of advocacy. I hope to be an advocate for women in their time of need now, and in the future," Miller said.  

Keirra McGoldrick is senior at Robinson and the Opinion Editor of Knight Writers. This is her third year on staff and her second year as an editor. McGoldrick, as an editor, must provide a sense of direction and help for those coming into newspaper who may not quite know what they need to be doing. She must also make sure that all stories written by staff writers are up to par with that of the standard for the newspaper. “I edit all the opinion stories and make spreadsheets for opinion writers," McGoldrick said. McGoldrick may like writing in journalism, though nothing trumps her love of photography. She lists photography as one of her favorite hobbies and pass times outside of journalism. “I like photography," McGoldrick said. "I take pictures of anything I find interesting." Though McGoldrick has to keep up a balance of her academics and the needs of newspaper, she hopes to have enough time to join the photography club.  She wishes to do this in order to interact and convey her love of photography with other like-minded students at Robinson. Being the academic achiever that she is, McGoldrick keeps up with all of her classes. The two of these classes that she holds closest to her heart are journalism and history. However, she probably favors journalism a little more because it has her favorite teacher, Ms. Webster, who leads her to improve herself in all manner of things, especially photography. Outside of journalism, one of McGoldrick’s pastimes is to listen to music. As we know everyone needs a little bit of music to pull them through a slow school day, or just a slow day in general. “I like R&B and pop," McGoldrick said. “Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande, etc." High school isn't all McGoldrick has mapped out to do. Seeing as she is an academic achiever, McGoldrick already has plans for her future. She plans to keep her academic streak going through college. “I plan on going to university and majoring in criminal psychology and then after I graduate from normal college, I’m going to go get a PhD,” McGoldrick said.
