When I returned this year I was motivated to produce another great article for Voices. It’s not so much for me this time; it’s for the fans and the kind of people who support our company and its goals. The knowledge Voices has given me is invaluable.

I’m fifteen years old, I have a passion for skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding, dancing and playing violin, viola, piano and guitar. I think that Voices is a great opportunity for kids to get a taste of what journalism is all about – it’s a chance to make something of yourself.

I go to Amphitheater High School and this is my second year at Voices. My hobbies are martial arts and metal work: I work with armor and weapons. Voices is a comforting environment where it is easy to work and relax at the same time. I will definitely come back next year.

As a lover of Tucson and writing, I treasure Voices, Inc. as a great experience to have in my life. My favorite thing to do is gain new skills like photography, knitting, baking and whatever else I can get my hands on. I also have a habit of writing on my jeans.

My name is William Johnson and I attend Amphitheater High School. My second year at Voices was just as exciting as the year prior. I love being in the presence of all the great youth here. The energy is amazing; I’m thankful I can be a part of this again.

When I first came to Voices for an interview I had forgotten the address. I was about to go back home when I decided that if I found the place it was my destiny to be there. I finally found it, and I’m glad I did because I’ve loved every minute working here.

My name is Gabby Gomez, I’m eighteen years old, and I live on the south side of Tucson. Collaging, creating ‘zines, reading, volunteering, and observing people are some of my hobbies. I also love music – from hardcore to acid jazz. Working at Voices is the best thing to happen to me so far.

Hello, my name is Ashley Escalante. I am fifteen years old, and I’m currently a sophomore at Sunnyside High School. This is my first year working with 110º; however, I was with the Looking Forward, Looking Back program last year. My hobbies are listening to music and seeing concerts.

I am an Aquarius who believes cutting hair is deadlier than sin, and that all one needs to survive is a room full of books and boxes of Mentos. My hobbies include photography, playing the violin and the guitar, reading angry liberal philosophy books, and going to heavy metal concerts.

Hello my name is Stephanie Danforth and I am sixteen years old. I was born in Phoenix, Arizona. About half my life I was living on the Tohono O’odham Nation where I only understood Tohono O’odham. When I turned eight I moved to Tucson, Arizona where I learned English and Spanish.
