Hi! I'm Ben, and I'm amazing! I enjoy trying new things, and journalism is one of the new experiences I am pursuing. I have been an athletic trainer for Canyon High School for four years. It is my passion and is what I want to do as a career. So far, it has been totally weird joining journalism so late in high school. I am inexperienced, but that only motivates me to be better. My happiness comes from friends and family who are everything to me. Now that my senior year is coming to an end, I am excited to move on to new things. I love all the people who have joined me along my high school journey, and I am sad we all have to go our separate ways. This last semester, I am determined to make it my best.

Senior Caroline Ragland and freshman Maleena Barrientos compete in their third round of the West Texas National Qualifier Tournament. This is the pairs first year debating together, and the two have spent the majority of the year attending online tournaments because of COVID-19 restrictions. Barrientos said the partners debate in suit jackets and sweat pants because they only speak sitting down at computers. “Debating on computers is different in terms of giving information,” Barrientos said. “You communicate in a whole new way. Debating is still fun though. We argue about legislation and how things get done in government. The topic this year is about federal reform on the criminal justice system and how we can solve problems when it comes to policing, sentencing or forensics. I can uphold my opinions in a manner where it’s fun, but we’re talking about things we can change.”
