My name is Lily Abbott. I'm a sophomore at Anderson High School. As A member of the school newspaper I enjoy writing about current events and conflicts going on in our school and community. My interest in student news sparked when I found myself and other classmates uninterested in announcements and being uninformormed about school sporting events. I also found that me as well as many other students were not aware of the AHS news website.  Some of my other interests include competitive cheerleading, attending school sporting events, and coaching gymnastics. The most prominent traits I see in myself are emotional intelligence, integrity, optimism, and honesty. I try to share those traits with others around me by being as positive, supportive, and uplifting as possible to others around me. Spending quality time with friends is something very important to me. I personally value all my friends just as much as family.
