I filled out a Silhouette application, and Ms. Weaver-Kreider chose me to be the editor. I was surprised because sophomores rarely get leadership roles, but I am very grateful to her for the wonderful opportunity. As an editor, I love getting my hands on a written piece that needs some revision so I can play with the words that the author provided! A big part of our work at Silhouette is recruiting writers and artists that we want to submit work. One of my main goals this year was to increase the quantity and quality of submissions; this year we had more submissions than in the past, and the pieces we received were impressive. I love any and all English classes. This year alone I took Journalism, Academic Writing and Creative Writing. Other English-related things I do are: book-writing, submitting works to writing competitions, and participating in local library events such as poetry readings and book signings. I also started my own online political magazine.

DENISE BENDER I worked in marketing until my children were born and I tried substitute teaching. I loved teaching and, after being a substitute for six years, I decided to get a teaching certification. I finally found my “calling” in life; it was teaching! I love the daily interactions with students and the knowledge that this career allows you to invest in and influence the next generation. I take my students’ growth personally and want to do all I can to make sure they are equipped to be leaders both now and in the future. Words are powerful, and I am excited to help students find their voice in writing. Words have the power to influence and change people.
