About the Contributor
Justice Altenbaumer, JH Editor
My name is Justice Altenbaumer, and the reason I want to join the Launch Pad is because I think it would be a fun activity to do along with school and because I enjoy writing. I usually read and play video games in my free time, but I enjoy writing about certain topics. I think Launch Pad is a good thing for me because I can get a chance to do more useful things that I can’t really do at home. I don’t get to write about anything interesting at home, and I think this would be very interesting. I don’t usually play sports, but I do enjoy swimming in the summer. I think it would be good to learn about the things that happen in school and write about them.
