About the Contributors
Eli Boatman, Broadcast Editor
Senior, Eli Boatman is just starting out on the Galaxy News broadcast team and has found his niche, creating the “Boatman on the Block” segment. Boatman shared that “In Mrs. Trier’s tenth grade English, I found that I had a devout love for Shakespeare’s writing, and I just loved reading through the poems, and just speaking and just being myself.”
Outside of Journalism, Boatman is a part of the football team and enjoys fishing.
To those unsure of whether or not to join, Boatman shared some qualities that people would want to have. “Gotta be bold, gotta want to talk, some don’t want to talk as much but that's okay because they get used to it. You can like the editing more, or you can like the actual speaking more.”
After high school, Boatman is unsure of exactly where he wants to go, but is currently thinking about attending Colorado Christian University.
