“A spirited soul living in  Southern California,” is how most people describe me. I like to think of myself as a happy face strolling through her senior year, living amongst the Maker of Heaven and earth. You can call me Maddy, Madelyn, or any variation of the name. I find joy in the little moments and live everyday capturing those memories through art, photos, and most importantly writing. I thrive in the golden sunshine of San Diego, and I flourish in anything requiring creativity. I believe every person possess a unique story, and I hope to convey their experiences through writing as the Spiritual Life Editor on El Cid. This opportunity represents a chance to grow as a writer, student, and disciple; therefore, I look forward to sharing this gift of storytelling with the CCHS community.
