My name is Jasmine Belmonte, and I am a 12th-grade student. In my free time, I enjoy writing and finding new things to do that help me express myself. I am passionate about joining the school newspaper because I want to share important stories, connect with other students, and give a voice to experiences that matter in our community. Looking ahead, I hope to become a trauma social worker so I can support people through their toughest challenges, using empathy and communication to make a positive impact.
