A Notable Newcomer

Talented, energetic and an enthusiastic writer, freshman Jackson Cummings is an exciting new addition to this year’s Sentry staff. Following the advice of his brother, former staff member Mike Cummings, and his own desire to have a career in journalism as an adult, Cummings was eager to become a part of the newspaper production process.

“I’ve heard great things about the class,” remarked Cummings.

Voted “Most Unique” in middle school, Cummings has a long list of interests and abilities. In addition to being left handed, he is athletic, enjoys spending time with friends and is thinking about joining the Debate Team. Cummings plans on capitalizing on these skills by being involved in after-school activities.

“I am definitely going to wrestle…and I’m most likely going to try out for soccer and possibly lacrosse.”

Although his first year in high school has just begun, Cummings has already had a great experience at school.

“I have made a bunch of friends…I just like Yorktown so far,” said Cummings.

In fact, his favorite class is journalism. Not only has he had the opportunity to meet many new people from every grade, but he has the chance to develop his skills as a writer.

“I’m most interested in writing for the opinion section because it is a broad topic…I like getting my thoughts out there,” said Cummings.

With high hopes for the years ahead, Cummings hopes to make the best of his experience in high school.

“Before I graduate, I think I would like to be in the Honors’ Program, and recognized as someone who is on a sports team…I definitely want to be remembered,” Cummings concluded.
