Beginning Monday, GantDaily will begin running an Op/Ed from Ryan Devlin. The piece, titled “Keep the Penny.”
“Who’s Ryan Devlin,” you might ask. He’s a 24-year-old English teacher and cross country coach at Brockway Area High School.
He is, as he puts it, “a big kid who is also a responsible adult.”
Here is an excert from his first Op/Ed, in which he introduces himself and gives you some idea of what’s to come:
“What does a 24-year-old know about life anyway? Each month you’re about to find out. I have discovered the provoking answer to the question, “When are you too old to wear Abercrombie and Fitch?” I know every young adult wonders the answer to that question, and I have it. Do you know what a messy car says about your life? What can William Shakespeare learn from Paris Hilton? Of course while spending time with hundreds of teenagers a day, being that I’m a teacher, there is much to be said about today’s youth, parenting, and the world we both awake to each day. Lots to discover and write about, but here’s your official welcome to ‘Keep the Penny.’”
So please join us on Jan. 4 for the first installment of “Keep the Penny” and give Ryan a warm welcome.
