Meet the Staff: Jessie Ritz

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

     Jenessa Marie Ritz, also known as Jessie, has lived by this saying since the third grade.  Jessie feels that there is too much hatred in this world, and trying to be nasty back will not cure it.  The only way is to kill it with kindness.  She believes that everyone should do their part.
     When Jessie finishes college, she is going to law school to be a lawyer.  She feels that being a lawyer will bring justice to people.  Also, Jessie wants to read to and play with childhood cancer patients.
     Every year, Jessie has done something during the school year to help the community.  Honestly, she didn't know what she was going to do this year.  Jessie didn't know anyone to do community service for.  Then she found newspaper.  She joined the newspaper staff to help everyone finds news.  She loves to help people, and will continue to help make the world a better place.
