Alyssa is a junior who has had a passion for writing since she was little and has always wanted to go into a profession that included writing. She got into journalism because she wanted to be more active with her writing. Alyssa loves moving around and being active and has been doing taekwondo for nine years. It has become a big factor of her life and has made her want to help people more. She wants to go into the FBI so she can continue her love for writing and helping others. When she isn’t teaching taekwondo or writing, Alyssa is skateboarding or hanging out with her friends. Her friends say that she is shy at first but once you get to know her she is super fun to be around and says what’s on her mind. Even though this is her first year on The Advocate, she is already a great asset.
