Benjamin Thernstrom is a freshman at Washington Liberty in his first year on the Crossed Sabres staff (or any kind of school newspaper), and is a reporter for the newspaper. He joined the newspaper this year because he wanted to learn more about the community. He is learning how things work at the paper, and likes to watch movies and read books. He will write articles and possibly reviews in the future. He is introverted, but wants to know more people at school to be friends with and possibly interview later. He has a very cute crested gecko in his house (although his brother does most of the work). He doesn't draw or play an instrument, but he loves looking at art and listening to music. He spends as much time with his family as he can, as long as he can get all his work done on time.
