• Robbie Patla

  Student

  My name Robbie Patla and I have just finished my 8th grade year at Mountain MIddle School - a project based learning school in Durango, Colorado. I love to write about anything I feel is interesting to me and hope that my writing inspires kids my age to have their say on what they are passionate about. I intern on one of the local radio stations in Durango trying to involve kids in our community by offering my 14 year old perspective, for better or worse!

Today is the day we change the future.
