i am ciara thomas, a political science major at tuskegee university in tuskegee alabama. while i plan to go to law school after obtaining my undergraduate degree, i have always had an interest in writing and books. i love how stories can have a longstanding impact on people from many different backgrounds. i hope that by becoming a correspondent for planet forward, i can learn about the world around us while also inspiring others to do the same. we only have one earth and should do everything in our power to take care of it!
