Dottie Young is a senior at WSHS, and it is her second year as a Scroll member! She is involved in White Station’s Scribbler and the White Station Environmental Alliance. Outside of school, she will most likely be found working at Torchy’s, spending her free time dancing wildly, painting messily, and blasting her music into the morning hours. If she’s not participating in those activities she’s most likely mindlessly watching Netflix or playing video games for hours on end.
