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.
