Staff Profile
Luke Foreman –– Staff Writer
Inklings evolves as its staff evolves. The paper has always carried on the tradition of improving itself and renewing itself. With new writers like Luke Foreman’ 14, that tradition will continue.
Although Foreman is a junior, it is his first year on the Inklings staff. He may lack experience compared to some writers, but he is eager to make up for lost time.
Foreman hasn’t always been interested in journalism. His inspiration sparked from taking collaborative writing, a course Staples offers, his sophomore year.
And with that newfound inspiration he hopes to contribute as much as he can to making a great paper.
Foreman has always been on the look out for new interests. However, one of his older hobbies is playing tennis. Although the tennis team and Inklings staff are seemingly different, Foreman believes there are several similarities.
The new staffer explained that, “Both are very good at what they do and can both can be exciting.”
The very obvious reason why Inklings and the tennis team are good at what they do is because there are always newcomers like Foreman to keep things moving forward.
With Foreman as a new addition, Inklings will be in good hands.
