Hello! My name is Conner Ryan. I am in eighth grade, and it is my first year in news writing. I play baseball and just enjoy being outside in general. During the summer, I play any sport that I can find people to play with and during the winter I try to go places inside with my friends or family. Whatever I do, I just like to do it with other people. I enjoy news writing because I like the photography aspect of it. I also think it's fun to write about things I attended. I think news writing will be a very enjoyable class since I will get to meet and learn about new people.

Perfect steak. This steak is only $19.99, which is less than most restaurants. It was juicy, tender and well worth the price.
