Hello! Im Peyton Daniel. I’m a junior here at AAHS, and I enjoy being with my friends and family during my free time. I like working for this staff because I'm introduced to new concepts of writing, and it allows me to work on my interviewing skills. I never saw myself being a huge writer, but the more I've been involved with this team, I’ve realized how interesting it was. I look forward to being a part of the 2021-2022 staff!
