LATEST FROM ABC15's KALEY O'KELLEY:
CHANDLER, AZ — Zoya Siddiqui had no idea what to expect when she was selected to join the Scholastic Kids Press in 2022 when she was only 11 years old.
When ABC15 first talked with Siddiqui a year ago, she said she was more excited than nervous about the opportunity to cover news for kids. She was among the 45 reporters in the Scholastic Kids Press program serving 25 million readers around the world."It was kind of eye-opening. It was a good learning experience," Siddiqui recalled.
The now 13-year-old says she understands the importance of sharing serious stories but says shining light on people who are working to help others are her favorite stories to tell. "It's an organization that builds beds for kids who are in need and they have several chapters across the nation and they have one located right here in Phoenix! Just seeing the work they do was really amazing," Siddiqui added.
