Mikesha Clarke is a junior at Robinson and a staff writer for the Knight Writers. This is her first year on staff.
Clarke prefers writing over photography and has always dreamt of being an author. This has been a dream of hers ever since she can remember as she has felt a connection when writing from an early age. Fictional drama draws her attention the most, with her favorite genre being romance.
While Clarke does not play any sports, she stays active by walking to and from school each day.
“I live nearby and hate driving, so I like to walk to school,” Clarke said.
You can always see Clarke with her earbuds in. Walking also gives Clarke the perfect opportunity to listen to her favorite music, which mostly includes K-Pop and R&B.
“My number one favorite artist is Nicki Minaj, of course. I would say my second favorite is BTS. I’ve been a fan of them for a long time, too,” Clarke said.
Joining the staff this year, Clarke hopes to gain more experience in different aspects of journalism and getting out of her comfort zone when writing stories.
“I hope to write a lot of great stories and improve my skills as a writer,” Clarke said.
In the future, Clarke hopes to be able to write her own novels, particularly about romance. In hopes to pursue a path that would align with her creative self, she hope to attend Full Sail University in Orlando due to its extensive arts programs.
