Kayla Holmes, Staff Writer
Being a part of the making of each U- Times Newsmagazine this school year, I have grown a better appreciation for current news. Throughout the year, I’ve faced several deadlines, written many stories, but most importantly enjoyed being with my friends Alice, Lily, and Emily, as they are also U- Times staff. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, my favorite style being freestyle. I also enjoy listening to music. I most enjoy Yo Gotti, Boosie, Adele and sometimes my golden oldies made by artists such as Madonna, Blondie, Vanilla Ice, and Ice Cube.

This [open house] was, for me, a great opportunity to meet family in the district that will soon be attending the high school, Williams said.](https://www.utimesonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/DSC_9117-1200x800.jpg)
