My name is Elena Brancaleon and I am a freshman taking a part in the Brandeis Journalism course. I love to write and when I come up with ideas I actually feel like a creative person. I like to think I am sarcastic and funny so I always try to come up with jokes, even though I am the only person the laughs at them. I am on the Varsity tennis team and even though I am the only freshman on the team, they still make me feel like I am welcome. I took a part in journalism because I wanted to know how it feels to be a real journalist and and see all of the work they do in person.
