Sriram Chiripurapu is a sophomore this year at Rock Ridge High School. He joined The Blaze this year, as he was interested in helping minorities have a voice, and that led him to journalism. He enjoys cooking and making fruit syrups for drinks. He wants to try his hand at investigative pieces and features, focusing on the truth and people’s talents. This year, he plans to branch out and have some more fun in school. If he could have an editor position in this program, he’d like to have something relating to photography, as he feels he could express with pictures what he couldn’t with words. He hopes to continue being part of the Blaze through the next two years.
