Looking Deeper

The Red Ledger: What activities are you involved in at school?

Evie Mcgowan: I am in the student council and I also run in cross country.

TRL: Other than your time, what do you sacrifice for these extra curriculars?

EM: I give a lot of work and energy into the extracurriculars. I can use that energy to study or work on a project, but I choose to use it for helping the school.

TRL: What have been your greatest challenges academically?

EM: Doing these extra curriculars make you busy and take a lot of time, so instead of working on homework at home for my core classes, i’m staying at school after hours for running or planning.

TRL: Who have been your greatest inspirations and supporters?

EM: My family has always supported my choices for school and sometimes even helped me with student council. My teammates have also really inspired me to keep moving forward while running.

TRL: Do you expect to continue these activities after you graduate high school?

EM: Yeah I plan on doing student council for the college that I go to.

TRL: What do you think is the most impacting activity you participate in?

EM: Probably student council because we help out by planning events here for the school along with themes.

TRL: How do you think these activities right now will affect you in the long term?

EM: I think they’ll give me experience for my future, like college and my career.

About the Contributor
Kelsey Carroll
Kelsey Carroll, Section Editor
Senior Kelsey Carroll has never owned a dog or a cat, but she’s the proud caretaker of two mini cacti living their life on her windowsill, and she thinks that’s just enough. She never forgets to water them weekly, as she’s a fond planner user who prides herself on writing down just about any task, even “write staff bio,” which she just proudly accomplished. When she’s not strumming twangy ukulele chords in her bedroom on the weekends or attempting to play a cello countermelody in class during the week, Kelsey can be found dancing to whatever plays in her earbuds (which are constantly on her) while editing photos until her laptop battery dies each night. Her days start before the sun’s up at swim team, and end with her furiously deciding which of her 16 pairs of Harry Potter socks to wear the next day. Whether she’s shooting sideline photos and dodging officials on the football field, or manning a jumbotron camera for the fans to see, Kelsey loves to be involved in any visual coverage she can get her hands on. Although she’s soft spoken, Kelsey hopes to share stories through her photos and writing as she tackles her roles as photographer, community editor, and social media editor during her fourth and final year on staff.
