Paige Duff (10) stepped into the world of journalism after deciding to try something new and signing up for the class in 8th grade. “Honestly, in eighth grade, I saw the newspaper, journalism sign-up. I was like, you know what? I have nothing else to do,” she said.
A passionate middle school language arts teacher also inspired her. “She always pushed me to write more. I did take her advice on that, and I’m glad I did,” Duff said. “She made me really want to tell stories about people and things going on.”
When she’s not at school, taking photos, or writing for the Mix, Duff enjoys many hobbies. “I love playing guitar, I love baking, cooking, track,” she said.
For Duff, journalism has shown her the world around her and its meaning. “It made me more aware of how I can tell other people stories,” Duff said.
