“When words are both true and kind, they can change the world.”- Buddh

Natalia Martinez is a Senior attending Prairie Highschool. Natalia has attended Prairie High School for all four years, however sometimes she may go under the radar. With a very quiet personality, she does not speak up very often. However when she opens up you can see all the great things about her glowing personality that is hidden behind her quiet demeanor.

Drawing and hiking are two of her favorite things to do. She claims that hiking is a hobby and her drawing is a talent. While her ability to draw might be God-given, it does not go without practice. Natalia spends a lot of her time throughout the day doodling and drawing. Her love for nature thrives her hiking desires. She loves to take pictures of the plants and different animals that she finds along the way, as well as seeing the beautiful views and landscapes. It would make sense that her love for nature would help her artistic ability by giving her ideas of things to draw and inspiration of the peacefulness behind hiking and nature. 

A fun fact about Natalia is her motive to make her younger brothers proud. As the oldest sibling she carries a lot of responsibility to set a good example for them, but to do things in a way to make them proud holds a lot of respect. Her passions are spread in ways that she hopes her brothers will look up to and admire, and possibly pursue. Another fun fact is her desire for knowledge. She took journalism in hopes to understand more about her interest in learning how to write. The ideas that people put behind their articles and papers, and the thoughts that they can translate, those are the things that helped her consider taking journalism.
