Eisley Ivy Gaile Lagunias is a Reports Writer for TomasinoWeb. Writing entered her life early, beginning as a release of boredom during 5th grade. Even then, she found herself drawn to words, using them as a way to express thoughts she couldn’t always say out loud and to be heard with the same words she wrote. In seventh grade, her perspective shifted when she discovered journalism. Learning how to tell real stories and report on real moments gave her writing direction and meaning, pushing her to grow beyond imagination and into intention. She continues to write with the hope that her words will resonate with others, capturing moments, emotions, and truths that she longs to be heard, remembered, and felt in UST and even outside of its gates.
