My name is Brenda Guillen and I am one of contributors for The Breeze. I am a Junior at Santa Maria High School. This is my first time being part of this school’s journalism class and The Breeze 22-23.

I am 16 years old. My birthday is in April, I’m an Aries. Incase you like those things.  I started as a freshman on zoom, it wasn’t how I thought my first year of high school was going to be like but it was one of those things that was outside our grasp. Being on zoom was a different experience to say the least. I have lived in this town all my life, it’s truly home.

In my spare time I like to spend time with my family and my 2 lovely dogs. I also do like to roller skate a bit. I’m not a professional by any means but it’s a little hobby I like to do. I also enjoy painting and drawing a bit. I like expressing myself through different things. I like to go thrifting with my friends and just hanging out. I enjoy taking walks to clear my mind. I also do enjoy true crime documentaries and conspiracy theories. I also do like to reading. I’m very much introverted but maybe this will help me step out of my comfort zone a bit.

Hopefully this year we can make The Breeze grow and encourage more people to join. We will try our best to update you guys on everything important that’s going on around us.
