Hera Wolfe is a young fiction writer who hopes to become a published author one day. She has a short story published in Ballpoint: A Literary Journal 2019, a collection of short writing pieces by writers from her school, Arts & Communication Magnet Academy.
Luz Zamora is a flute player along with being a student athlete and youth activist. She is a sophomore in high school in Woodburn, Oregon. Her essay “Many Years Ago and Today” was published in ‘Yes! Magazine” as an honorable mention.
