Mary Pierce

By: Allison and Ashley

Mary Pierce has been a journalist for Keith County News for several years. She feels her job is her community project.  She loves telling people about what is going on in our community. She enjoys  helping, inspiring, and being inspired by our community. One example is the Ogallala Interact Club. These students are doing all kinds of things to replace the seats in the Ogallala High School lecture hall. This, according to Mary, “is quite amazing.”  These students inspire not only our community to make a difference, but everyone in our community to work together as one to make a difference.

Mary Pierce thinks the community is made up as one, a whole, working together. She states that she enjoys telling people about the positive things in our community because telling positive things inspires them to do more good things. Mary thinks that us as teenagers could make a huge difference with the technology that we know and have today. Mary also thinks that we all need to work together to grow, with several different groups, and work together for the common cause to improve. Mary says don’t let people say no, try new things, and the people are number one. According to Mary “failure is okay; that’s what we learn from.”
