So why not allow a few of those talents to tell their story of what makes writing and literature special to them. First, I am going to give a little insight into why I enjoy writing so much. I most likely have already told bits and instances of my story, but a refresher is never a bad thing. There are three reasons why writing and literature mean so much to...
When I think about Christmases I have had previously throughout my lifetime, I think about many different things.

To start this article, I would like to take a moment to thank both Barry and Jeff Ament for taking the time out of their busy schedule to reach out to me, as without them, this article would not be possible. Secondly, I would like to thank The Mountaineer for allowing me to conduct this article. This article means a lot to me, and I am very humbled by the opportunity.On January 26th, 2020, the 62nd Grammy Awards were held.

Hello readers of the Mountaineer, I am the new kid on the block. Many of you might recognize and know me, but just for good measure my name is Jeremiah Genereux. I will be writing for this newspaper for the last few months of my high school career, as it is where I am co-opping.
