Suri Coleman (10) is a first-year staff writer for The Catalyst. Coleman is best described as tenacious, dedicated, and perfectionistic; she values her work and deeply cares about the product she releases; she is a writer of great integrity. She joined The Catalyst because she loves writing and figured she’d have a better time in newspaper journalism because it would enable her to write more [than yearbook journalism]. Coleman commented on her experience in the class:
“It’s probably one of the best environments I’ve been in, and I expected it to be incredibly hard, but it turned out to be one of the most supportive and welcoming classes I’ve ever had. I enjoy writing for The Catalyst, so I changed my schedule [to take Journalism again] next semester.”
Coleman’s final piece for the current semester will be an article on Finals Week; she says it will be one of her favorite written articles under The Catalyst thus far. Going into the next Semester, Coleman reflects on her very first, “I expect to write a lot better articles this semester. I kinda didn’t know what was going on, so I didn’t write as great,” she comments. “I’ll step it up for next semester by coming up with better ideas and overall better work.” Ms. Coleman has also expressed interest in becoming an editor for the paper sometime in the future.
