Hey y’all! My name is Mariam Alashmawi, and I am a senior. I’ve been a staff writer at Randall High for two years. I love writing opinion stories and reading books. My favorite books to read are William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” and Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities.” I am mostly involved in theater. I have loved acting since I was six years old, and it is my favorite getaway. My favorite pass time is playing improv games and learning card tricks. When I am not working on a story, I am usually talking about fashion and critiquing movies, listening to music or drawing. My favorite movies are all six of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. I aspire to major in film studies and pursue a job in the entertainment industry. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me!
