The General Journal

The General Journal

Emily Smith

Emily Smith, Staff Writer

Emily Smith is a 17-year-old who came to school one day and was shocked to find Journalism on her schedule again. Even though she was shocked, she found herself overjoyed to be able to help out with the yearbook and the HHS General Journal during her last year of high school. 

As you may have figured out, Emily Smith is a senior at Heritage High School with three years of experience in the Journalism class. This, according to Mr. Peace, makes her one of the “elders” within this year’s class. While she enters her senior year confidently, she is somewhat sad about leaving the place where many memorable moments were made. This will be the last year for her to hang out with her Game Club friends, be a part of the ASL Honor Society, and to attend competitive swim meets as an HHS swimmer. 

Emily Smith is not the average teenager, however. You may think of her as a coordinated but depressed high schooler who can’t wait to leave, but she is nothing like that. Emily actually enjoys learning: in fact, she is planning on going to Georgia College to achieve a degree in Early Childhood Education. She can be sweet and kind when she wants to be, however if you do something foolish or mindless, she will turn that action right back in your face with a snide comment and walk away. 

And now you have met the newly senior, Emily Smith.
