Jessy Barham, Staff Writer

Jessy Barham is a fifteen-year-old girl who loves to write stories.  She began her writing frenzy in first grade when she wrote stories about her dolls. As the years went by, Jessy’s writing improved and became more serious.  Some of her favorite novels she’s written are as follows:  Witchcraft, the story of a quiet twelve-year-old girl, Amanda Mitchell, who discovers that she is a witch, which causes her to realize her true potential;  Mattie Patterson 1849, about Mattie Patterson, a wealthy thirteen-year-old girl living in London at the time of the Gold Rush.  Her father loses a majority of his money in the diamond mines in Africa, which causes them to have to leave their house.  They move to California, hoping to regain their fortune. Jessy aspires to become an author.

Jessy also loves singing. She discovered she liked singing in fifth grade. She sang pretty well, but her voice was too quiet.  She also got nervous singing in front of many people. To get over her fear, she started taking singing lessons at a school in La Jolla.  During the four years, Jessy’s singing has improved dramatically. Now she sings much louder and clearer, and is more comfortable singing at recitals. Jessy’s favorite genres of music for singing are musical theater, indie, jazz and country.
