The Uproar

Lily Walker, Staff Writer

I am a senior and this is my second year to write for MHS Uproar. At school, I am also involved with Acdec, UIL and NHS. In my free time, I like to take my dogs on walks, draw plants (but recently I’ve been into painting), go see superhero movies and watch feel-good shows. I am also a huge fan of any food containing peanut butter or dark chocolate, so it is practically a vital part of my snacks.
