Dana Dever (10th), Contributing Reporter
My name is Dana Miracle Dever and I´m 15 years old, in the 10th grade, attending Pitman High School. I love to make art, read, and write. I have always had a huge passion for writing. When I was younger, I was put in foster care and separated from my siblings. Later on I’ve struggled with being happy, and I really lost myself. Writing has helped me and has always been a great coping mechanism for me. I learned I can express myself through writing and use writing as a tool. I have written songs and started writing books. I find writing to be one of my happy places. My goal is to help others through writing my own experiences, even fiction, and to possibly be the key to someone else’s lock. I want to show people that they´re not alone, and can find happiness. I want my writing to give others hope. That is my goal.
