Jordan De La Cruz is a senior and is the Sports editor. This is his second year on staff. De La Cruz is musically inclined and pursues such interest as he is in Robinson’s Drumline and plays instruments in his free time at home. He’s played the guitar since 2021 and began playing the drums for the marching band in 2022. De La Cruz also enjoys attempting new instruments as he's tried to play new instruments like the recorder. De La Cruz shares a strong connection to music, and he favors listening to Current Joys, Surf Curse and The Frights. “Music has always been super important to me, not just like listening, but playing it too,” De La Cruz said. “I love indie, alternative and rock. All that good stuff.” In addition to the Marching Knights and jazz band, De La Cruz is vice president of Keep Our School Beautiful (KOSB) club. "I enjoy being in KOSB club because my parents have raised me to recycle and it means a lot to me to set that same standard at my school," he said. What brought De La Cruz to newspaper was his friends, but what kept him in the class was his love for videography and story writing. “I initially joined this class, because a friend invited me to meet the teacher. I always wanted to do hosting for some videos, but last year I realized my talent was in writing stories,” he said. “I honestly love it so much. I've been very interested in writing sports stories. I hope to go to UF and maybe pursue journalism as a degree.” With this being his second year and first year in an editorial position, he looks forward to many things in newspaper. “I'm most looking forward to leaving my mark in newspaper, specifically in how we run the sports section,” De La Cruz said. “I enjoy the work, but especially the people. Some of my closest friends are the people I met through newspaper.”

Annabelle Bulger is a senior at Robinson and this is her second year on staff. She is the Fun Coordinator for the Knight Writers. Bulger has been dancing since the age of three. She's has done ballet, jazz, tap and musical theatre dance. She has lived in Georgia, Tennessee, Kansas, Washington, Texas and now resides in Florida. "Dancing has pretty much been one of the few constants in my life, no matter where I went, I had dance," Bulger said. She has gone on a few adventures. Her mother would take her on hikes during her time in Washington state. She hated it initially, but she eventually began to enjoy it. She started to like hiking more when she realized how beautiful the landscapes were. "My favorite was hiking in Mount Rainier National Park, in Washington, in the summer of 2022," she said. "I hope to travel more once I graduate, either to Europe, New York City, Yellowstone National Park, or Washington, D.C." Bulger loves traveling and would love to travel and explore more places once she's done with school and college. She also loves Journalism because it gives her the freedom and space to write about whatever she wants and gives her peace of mind. “I joined journalism because I always wanted to be a part of a school newspaper or yearbook, and I got suggested to Mrs. Webster as a staff writer. I love the energy of the class and how we work together to create our final product,” Bulger said.  Annabelle plans to do more fundraisers and help build a positive environment in Newspaper. She wants to focus on expanding her portfolio to include more topics. "Last year I mainly wrote opinions and A&E, and this year I want to do more sports and news," Bulger said. Bulger has always loved non-fiction books. Some of her favorites include Wright Thompson's "The Cost of These Dreams" and Tom Wolfe's "The Right Stuff." "I loved the way these authors told their stories," Bulger said, "and they continue to inspire how I approach my writing." Bulger says Thompson and Wolfe are two of her biggest inspirations. After graduation, Bulger is pretty set on her plans after high school, as she has a plan for college and after college graduation. "I’m set on my future careers. I want to be an Air Force pilot and maybe once I retire, I’ll become a journalist or a screenwriter, I’ve always loved creating stories. I plan on pursuing an engineering career with some minor in either STEM or literature," Bulger said.
