Jasmine McIntosh, Assistant Editor
Jasmine McIntosh is a junior in her third semester of Journalism.
She was first interested in journalism in fourth grade when she wrote a newspaper for her class every Friday. She interviewed classmates, had a student of the week, and even had a section dedicated to comics.
She continued writing the newspaper until middle school when she got too busy with sports and other extracurricular activities. She picked writing back up in high school after her mom encouraged her to try a semester of journalism.
Jasmine has always been involved in some sort of sport. She started playing soccer at 5, took a few gymnastics classes around 7, and began running track at age 8. She even played basketball from fifth to seventh grade.
The one sport that Jasmine has continued throughout high school is track. It is her favorite sport and she enjoys watching reruns of old Olympic races with her mom, who encouraged her to try track. One of Jasmine’s favorite things about track is the friendships she has made and the places she has traveled. Jasmine has attended several national meets and was even given a special invitation to run at the 2016 Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon as part of a youth exhibition.
At La Salle, Jasmine has rediscovered her love for theater and has joined the school's Thespian Troupe. She took Introduction to Theater Arts her freshman year and then went on to participate in the fall play and winter advanced acting production her sophomore year.
After La Salle, Jasmine wants to run track in college and major in engineering or journalism. Once she is done with college, Jasmine ultimately wants to live in a van, travel the world, and take beautiful photos.
