Isabelle Symonds, Staff Writer
AHS Junior Isabelle Symonds is a two-year journalism student of Atlantic High School. Symonds is in the social media department and business department of journalism. “We went to the Media Now and I enjoyed it, and wanted to step up in social media,” said Symonds. She said her favorite memory of journalism so far was when they took a trip to Media Now at Drake, “There were a bunch of kids there, and a group of us went and learned more about journalism.”
Symonds says she is most proud of them being up to date and consistent on their posting on all social media platforms. While staying busy with journalism Symonds also enjoys spending time with her family and friends in her free time. Symonds said she loves to walk her two dogs, and she loves to read books. “My favorite book would have to be Verity by Colleen hoover.”
Although she is always busy with school, Symonds also has a job at the Heritage House here in Atlantic, Iowa. “I have friends that work there and the elderly are super sweet,” said Symonds. Eventually when Symonds graduates she would like to go to DMACC for 2 years and then transfer to Drake to finish off her other two years to major in education and minor in Journalism.
