Hey y’all! I am Jas Hawk and this is my first year on The Central Times Staff. I am a sophomore; however, it is my first year at the school building as I was home schooled last year. I wanted to be in Journalism because I was in a similar class at East Hardin. I love expressing myself creatively in all kinds of ways, including writing, music, and drawing! I am currently learning guitar and piano, and they are both such fun instruments! I’m hoping to be able to write some of my own music eventually, because music helps me to connect to others! This includes myself, family, and friends!
While music is one thing that connects me, art is another! I’m in the TSA design club. Art is one of my sweet retreats from the world, and I love drawing characters from story ideas. I’m also in the Mental Health Council! I especially love indulging in learning about our differences. I want to learn about different perspectives in the school and what influences those views. I have a couple of ideas to improve our mental health awareness that I’m hoping to implement this year.
I love learning new things, which really includes anything. Reading, school, and research help me do that. I love helping my Dad out in the garage for some hands-on woodwork, taking classes or lessons to help improve myself, and helping my stepmom cook. Even chores help me learn things like time management, flexibility, and hard work!
I’m so happy that I am able to represent my school and the student body!

(Also, I usually wear a mask in the halls of Central.)
