Rachel Bhardwaj, Staff Writer
Rachel Bhardwaj is a second year staff writer on the Rock Ridge Blaze who likes drawing, sketching and singing when she’s not doing hip hop dancing. She hopes to join DECA and Debate and more clubs as the year goes by. Her goal for the year is to learn more about visual media and create more visual media. She joined this class because she likes writing about her opinions and expressing her thoughts . Outside of class she wants to pass junior year and hopefully pass her AP exams and the SAT. She also started tutoring sessions for K-5 students to get ready for the year.
