Sophie Le is a Junior at Robinson and is the current Opinion Editor for the Knight Writers. This is her second year on staff. 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. Le keeps herself motivated with her many goals for this school year. She plans on getting even more stories printed. “My goal for this year is to get a lot more stories done, voice a lot more opinions,” Le said. “I am excited now because as an editor. I have a lot more responsibilities but that means I get to do even more."  

Araya Stearns is a senior at Robinson and a senior staff writer for Knight Writers. This is her second year on staff. An essential part of Stearns is her love for sports. At Robinson, she plays both flag football and softball. She loves the flag team she's a part of, aiding her love of the sport overall. The same applies to softball, which Stearns has been involved in since her early years. "Softball, I've been playing since, like, the age of four, so meeting new people and having more friends due to softball is a really big thing for me," Stearns said. After her time at Robinson, Stearns plans to keep moving forward on the softball track, hoping to pursue the sport throughout college and strive for the pro-leagues. Wanting to stay active even after college, a career in physical therapy or training is in her sights. Besides sports, Stearns loves her share of country music. Artists like Kane Brown and Morgan Wallen are common in her everyday playlist. Like many right now, Stearns has been enjoying the new volume of "Stranger Things," eager for the new season to come out in her senior year. Dialing down on the intensity, her favorite movies are typically from Disney, considering that she's surrounded by younger siblings. She finds movies like "Luca" fun to watch by herself or with others. This year, Stearns wants to keep her focus on the sports section, mainly attending sports games and taking pictures for our galleries. She loves the atmosphere of any sports game, keeping her ambitious to improve her photography skills throughout her junior year. (Profile by Faith Rowland)
