 Hi, my name is Cooper Ford, and I am in my junior year of high school and in my second year on staff. I love taking photos and had lots of fun in the staff last year. I want to work on creating podcasts and improving my photography skills. I am also in the Bowie Cross Country and Track team and love running as well.
