Yara Jalal, Staff Photographer

Yara Jalal is a 10th grader. This is her second year being a part of HHS media, Yara chose HHS media because she’s heard many good things about this class so she wanted to focus more on photography. Outside of school Yara loves to go shopping and spend time with her family and dog. She said that she had a good first day of school, and she enjoyed seeing her friends again. In the future she hopes to go to college and become an OBGYN.
