Julia Garcia, a 10th-grade day student from Austin, has always held a deep love for the written word, finding solace and inspiration in the pages of books and the art of storytelling. Whether it’s crafting lines of poetry or meticulously honing her writing skills, writing has always held a special place in her heart. Her mind is always brimming with ideas and perspectives, most of which keep her awake until 3am, and she’s excited to be a part of The Bell, as it gives her the opportunity to explore her love of creative and analytical writing.
