Charley Carucci is a junior and first year Journalism student. Charley joined the class to help improve her writing skills. So far she enjoys the environment of the class. It makes her feel more independent rather than just a teacher hovering around. She also took the class to improve her social skills. Interviewing people will really help her get out of her comfort zone. Charley also does dance outside of school for 13 years and counting. She has future goals to attend college to become a physician assistant. As of right now Charley enjoys Journalism and will hopefully go on to take the class again next year.
