THIS is Mia Ruth Murphy, and she is currently a senior here at Metea Valley. It’s her second year on staff and her second year as an opinion writer. Her writing is pretty good, and she really likes to do it, so everyone should totally read them and drop a like and comment, and definitely not forget to hit that bell. When she’s not in class, she’s an emcee for the school #rep#gogomustangs and also dabbles in playing guitar and maybe watching tv or something idk.
