Abby Fleming ’20 has always considered herself shy. However, when she joined Advanced Journalism, she was forced to step out of her comfort zone.
“In the beginning, I was super nervous to even pick up a story. I was scared that somebody else could do it better than me,” she said.
While Fleming believes joining Inklings was a risk, she has learned to be more outspoken through her position as a staff writer.
Fleming also participates in the track and cross country teams. However, she does not have as big of a passion for it.
“[Track] meets are my least favorite thing,” she said, laughing, “because I get nervous under pressure.” Despite this fear of working under pressure, Fleming is excited to continue writing for Inklings, and knows it will help her become more confident.
