Hi, my name is Rachel Elliott and I’m a 17-year-old senior at Plymouth High School. This is my first time writing for the Perspective staff and I write feature stories as well as work on the layout of the paper. Even though I am only taking Advanced Journalism for a semester rather than the whole year, I’m excited to write amazing stories in the time that I have. Outside of writing for the newspaper, I also play percussion in Wind Ensemble and I’m also a member of Motor City Percussion in Detroit. When I’m not performing, I like to eat at BD’s Mongolian Grill and spend time with my 6 cats at home.
