Venezia Perez, Staff Writer
Venezia Perez (11) is a current Junior at Santiago High School, playing basketball for the girl’s varsity team. She enjoys late-night car rides and listening to music. After high school, she plans to graduate from college with a degree in communications. She is currently in AP Language Arts, hoping to take her love for writing to the next level. She began to gain more and more interest in writing when she figured out she could express herself and her thoughts through writing. From then on, writing had become her favorite thing to do in school. Venezia has been playing basketball since she was six years old. Basketball was not her first sport, nor a sport many around her played. Her father played minor league baseball for the Angels, and her sisters played softball for some time. Eventually, Venezia grew out of softball and wanted something new. Her cousin played college basketball and played overseas in Spain for a while; from that moment on, Venezia wanted to be just like her. She aspires to complete her education in communications and play basketball overseas. Eventually, basketball will come to an end. Therefore, she would love to pursue a career in sports journalism/ broadcasting and maybe even one day become a coach. In the future, Venezia hopes to leave a positive impact on those that she comes in contact with. She hopes that her kind spirit and sarcastic humor leave a lasting impression. She also hopes to express her strong and determined mindset through writing. Her goal is to leave readers, as well as her peers, more than just content with her writing.
