Hey, readers! I’m Rachel Silver, one of the two-year members and original staff of The Knight Writer. I typically write for entertainment, though I take on the occasional news or feature article. When I’m not at school or work, I’m probably either playing soccer, cheerleading, with friends, or just sitting at home with a good book or listening to music. I’m afraid of clowns and heights, though I sort of conquered that fear over the summer by riding my first rollercoaster. I like to make other people laugh or smile, and I try to make the best out of every situation (even math-related ones). Though I am your typical boy-band crazy teenage girl being a One Direction fan, I enjoy a wide variety of music, from Pop to R&B to Alternative Pop. After high school, I would like to attend Hope College in Holland, Michigan with a major in psychology and a minor in creative writing.
