Hi, my name is Isabella Skipworth, and I am a senior here at Central. This is my first year on the Central Times staff, and I’m very excited about this opportunity. I’ve always loved writing, but I’d never thought about doing it this way. Ms. Sherrard approached me about joining the staff, and I love that this will give me an outlet to share my words with the school.

I want my stories to be something students enjoy reading and that also makes them think. I hope to use my voice to speak up for others and help the student body stay informed and excited about all things Central. I’m especially looking forward to interviewing teachers and students I may not know and learning from them.

In addition to writing for the Times, I am also an active member of the Executive Council and FCA. Outside of school, I’m involved in the youth groups at Grace Heartland and First Christian Church. I also enjoy reading, journaling, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family. I always have a book with me or a song stuck in my head. I love deep conversations as well. In short: I love words. They have a beauty and a depth that’s so fun, and I hope to convey that in my articles for the Times. 

It’s going to be a great year!
