Hey, my name is La’Aria Miller but I go by Arie. I am in 8th grade at Dobie jr. High School. My favorite core subject is History, specifically black history, because I love to learn about my culture and what things were like for people like me decades before I was born. Outside of school, you can find me playing basketball, playing video games, playing my ukulele, or singing at my church. I love journalism because I like to express my creativity by making graphics or taking cool pictures, and I love writing, interviewing, and talking about certain things going on in our world right now. My favorite topics to write about are politics, sports, and racial issues.
