Hi! My name is Lucie Coburn and I am a senior at Royal Oak High School. This is my first year on Acorn staff and I am so excited to be a part of the behind the scenes of the newsmagazine. I am constantly looking for ways to expand my knowledge on different subjects. Acorn will be a way for me to achieve this in a unique setting of researching, interviewing, and writing about topics that I am both familiar with and unfamiliar with. Outside of school, I love spending time with my family/friends, reading, and doing jigsaw puzzles! I am a part of Royal Oak’s student council, where I am able to give back to the school with other leaders who inspire me everyday. Being a leader as well as being connected to my family/culture is the reason for my ongoing involvement in the Armenian community. I am a proud member of the Armenian Youth Federation (AYF), through which I spent my entire summer working as a camp counselor at AYF Camp Haiastan. All of these experiences have made me who I am today and I can’t wait to continue to grow this year as a journalist and as a person!
