Taylor Wells – Cougar Chronicle

Taylor Wells, Reporter, Copy Editor

Taylor Wells (she/her) born in 2007 and is currently 16 years old. She is the daughter of James and Jessica Magee, and older sister of 4-year-old Isla, and 2-year-old Jaxson. Her hobbies include reading, drawing, writing, and playing video games. A few games she enjoys playing are Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us Part 1 and 2, and NieR:Automata. When it comes to her academics, it can be a bit lacking at times. She has a tendency to procrastinate, waiting till the last minute, or even past the due date to turn in/do important work. Nevertheless, she’s able to get it done, knowing that a 20% is better than a 0% as a whole. She has done well enough that her report card doesn’t reflect those ‘small’ mistakes, showing A’s and B’s. She chose to take journalism because it seemed genuinely interesting to her. Taylor has always loved writing in general and taking a class that depends on a person’s writing skills on opinionated or quick to get topics seemed eye catching to her. She’s been in Journalism for three years now and will likely continue till her last year of high school.
