Lydia Lawrence, Opinions Editor

Lydia Lawrence is a senior at McHenry High School’s Upper Campus. She loves to sit with her pets after school, as well as hanging with friends when she’s free. Baking, taking pictures, and exploring are passions of hers when she’s not working at Fair Oaks, a nursing home. She hopes her third and last year on the Messenger’s staff is as enlightening.
