Xavier Deras joined journalism to be able to express his full potential for writing and be able to socialize more, as well as get out of his comfort zone to express his true self.

He wants to be as creative as possible, allowing it to be easily known what his papers are about, and make them fun to show other students, to engage them in what he is writing about and know what’s happening around their environment.

Xavier likes working on cars and watching videos about repairing cars. Xavier also likes sports, watching soccer, basketball, and enjoying all the fun games and news about these sports.

His goal is to hopefully make it to trade school, studying to be a mechanic and learn about cars. Xavier hopes to one day become a mechanic himself or a car salesman.  He finds a use in journalism for these goals, as it applies to his need to be able to talk to people and persuade or inform them, whether that is into buying cars or basic information on their vehicles, and in Journalism he finds these skills are necessary to get our readers’ attention.
