Jordan De La Cruz is a junior at Robinson and a staff writer for Knight Writers. This is his first year on the staff. A true artist, De La Cruz partakes in many artistic hobbies including playing drums, guitar and even painting. "Anything creative I love to take part in," De La Cruz said. With an affinity for editing videos and having already written a few full-length stories, De La Cruz's passions for newspaper extend beyond the class. He felt joining newspaper would benefit his interests and wanted to expand his already formidable writing abilities. "As a writer I felt like this would be a super fun way to expand my influences with writing but also with the video editing," De La Cruz said. "I already have a good past in video editing that I think doing more of it would be great." While De La Cruz enjoys the opportunity to express his writing abilities, video creation is another thing that drew De La Cruz to newspaper. He looks forward to making content for the ongoing "Man on the street" videos under the Knight Mic series. De La Cruz looks forward to being able to build on the foundation left by previous classes and hopes to expand the coverage of Knight Mic videos beyond pep rallies and RHS sporting events. "I'm excited to be a host, be able to put my charisma on the screen," De La Cruz said. "Just being able to make videos with two friends of mine, I'm really excited." Never staying in one school for long, De La Cruz looks forward to finishing his final years at Robinson and leaving his mark on the school as a Knight Writer. "I used to move every year, but this is the only time I'm going to be able to finish the next three years at the same high school," De La Cruz said. "I'm super hopeful ... [that] I'll be able to have some sort of mark on the school." (Profile by Yesenia Rosario)

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.

Jennie Gutman is a junior at Robinson and a staff writer for Knight Writers. This is her first year on staff. The main reason why Gutman decided to be part of the staff is to become an advanced writer, allowing her to excel in her classes. As a basketball player, Gutman has a deep passion for sports writing and looks forward to covering all the RHS sports. A baller at heart, Gutman aspires to pursue her passion for basketball after high school. "My main goal in basketball is to get into D1, and if not D1 then I would try to get into D2 and then play overseas," Gutman said as she's currently trying to score 1,000 points and was titled the MVP 2 times at Robinson. Other than Basketball, Gutman finds joy in shopping, hanging out with friends, and most importantly, she focuses on exercising at least once per day to try and improve her game. With a wide-open future, Gutman hopes to either help people as a Physical Therapist or pursue her interest in stocks by becoming a Businesswoman. "In the near future, I just want to help people as much as I can," Gutman said. (Profile by Brianna Yasis)

Le chose to join newspaper to improve her writing skills and gain some experience with creative writing, which she feels is missing from schools. “I’ve always thought I was a bad writer, so I really wanted more experience with it,” Le said. “Especially with things that I am more interested in.” Outside of the classroom, Le is starting her own club with a non-profit organization to help expand their reach. “I’m starting my own club this year based on getting donations for our cause Clothes for Kids,” Le said. When school is out for the day, Le pursues her interest in the world of fashion. You could usually find Le at a variety of stores, shopping for different clothing styles. “I love going to flea markets and vintage stores. I really like antique shops," Le said. She also makes fashionable alternations to the clothing she buys. “I also worked at my grandma alterations shop, so I know how to alter clothing...that adds to the fashion passion," Le said.
