Carlyn (Carly) Carter is currently a sophomore in her second year of Newspaper. Last year, as a junior staff writer, she enjoyed writing reviews pertaining to music and pop culture. She runs year round as a member of Independence’s Cross Country team, Varsity Indoor Track team, and Varsity Outdoor Track team. Carly enjoys reading, and for her, the sadder the book, the better. Her favorite book is either Trout Fishing in America by Richard Brautigan or Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. She is an avid horror movie watcher with an opinion on every Scream film, but could never be caught watching an action movie. In her free time, she also enjoys drawing, preferably with oil pastels or charcoal. In the future, Carly aspires to develop a career in law. This year, Carly is interested in writing articles that cover school events such as pep rallies and theater productions. She believes that the most important characteristics of a good journalist are honesty and sensitivity, and cannot wait to apply those qualities this year for the Prowl!
