About the Columnist
M. J. West was born, raised, and is about to start "higher education" in the state of Washington. She was the new colorguard captain in the marching band this year. In her spare time, she enjoys going to youth group, going to the movies with her best friend, reading really good books (authors like J. K. Rowling, Frank Perretti, and God Almighty), bike riding, but most of all, writing poems, stories, and songs! She is going to spend 6 years at Central Washington University studying to be an English teacher in France.
