“Hello, my name is Nham Ngoc Hai Lam (Apple). I am a rising 7th grade in Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted. I am an aspiring writer and am hoping to apply for the newspaper writer position for Inspire Youth. I have always been focused on creative writing. However, I would love to try my hands on journalism as it is a way for me to step out of my comfort zone and become a better version of myself.
I love to explore about philosophy, dreams, youth psychology and many other controversial topics. I believe that being a member of the Inspire Youth Journal as a newspaper writer could provide me with an opportunity to help me improve my writing skills while being able to write articles share knowledge to the readers.
