Jordan Sanders joined TeenSpeak because he wanted to "get the word out" to teens all over. He wants to be a part of an organ-ization that informs future world leaders about the various roles they can fill. He wants to be able to say, "I was a part of that," meaning, being a part of helping to inform teens about what is going on in the world. Jordan enjoys photography and design work the most. He is appreciated for his enthusiasm and his efforts to promote greater visibility for TeenSpeak.
Ryan Sherwin decided to join TeenSpeak because he likes the idea of meeting people he looks up to and he also thought it would be a good way to improve his writing. He has written mostly about sports, yet, he is happy to write about just about anything that interests him. Ryan wants to make a difference in the lives of teens.
Rachel Stockman has always been interested in writing and in journalism. She thought that by getting her word out and having some influence over shaping the ideas of her peers would help to bring awareness to the issues she finds important. She is especially interested in political issues which, she feels, might not be too interesting to teens. She feels it’s important for teens to take an interest in politics because change is needed and youth need to get involved.
James Yin joined TeenSpeak be-cause he wanted to improve his writing skills. The first article he wrote for TeenSpeak was based on an interview he conducted at The White House with John Koskinen, the Chairman of Y2K Conversion in his White House office! James also enjoys writing about science and technology. The thing James likes most about being a repor-ter for TeenSpeak is that he thinks of it as writing to his peers, and he appreciates the chance to be able to do so.
