Isabella Rayball is a sophomore and first year writer for the Wolf’s Print. She doesn’t have any published works out, but is hoping to change that this year. Isabella joined journalism to help further her love for writing and learn how to write for the paper. She does not have any prior writing classes besides her normal English classes. Her mom and elementary school teachers made a big impact in pushing her to write what her mind came up with. This pushed her love for writing that has continued to grow through her life. She has used her English lessons to help further  and influence how she writes.  Her writings include those of her English essays and journals filled with random thoughts and short stories. 

Isabella doesn’t have a designated college she wants to go to, but would love to go somewhere in California and study criminology. She hopes to later become a criminologist or a law librarian, using her love of reading and criminology in her life. Isabella also hopes to travel a lot and learn and write about what she sees and learns on her trips. 

Isabella has always had a great love of reading which helped to influence her later love of writing. She loves reading books and comparing the different styles of writing the authors use and how she can also use those in her own writing. She will read anything from young adult fantasy books to criminology books. Some of her favorite books are The Invisible Life of Addie Larue, The Song of Achilles, and Six of Crows, which have all had an impact on her writing. 

Isabella is excited to cover news and entertainment stories through the different perspectives of students and staff here at DM. She hopes to deliver stories that will inspire and teach other students about what is happening in DM. “ I can’t wait to get started,” says Isabella.
