This is Jillian Goertz, a sophomore in high school. She is excited to start writing for the Bulldog Times, especially as an underclassmen. You can usually find her on the softball field. She is a pitcher and first baseman for the Junior Varsity team at Ayala. If you do not see her on the field she is probably hiking with her family. Jillian finds hiking to be soothing and a way to get away from reality for a little while. She has recently become a part of Club HEAL which stands for Health Education Awareness Love. This was one of the clubs that caught her eye and she couldn’t be more happy to become a member. Her favorite memory at Ayala so far is Homecoming. This was a memorable experience for her because it was the first time she had attended a high school dance and it was good to see friends dress up nicely.
