Staff writer Kelpin Gomez ’25 joined Inklings wanting to get out of his comfort zone and talk to people he may not be familiar with. 

“I just thought it was very fun to go out and interact with a lot of new people and new faces,” Gomez said.

Gomez is also president of the Staples skate club, hoping to better the Compo skate park. 

“We try to do a lot of school sales and we try to host events in town,” Gomez said. “After the money accumulates, we will use it for any renovations that we need for the park.”
