Staff Profile

Li Chien –– Reporter

What’s up? My name is Li Chien and I am proud to be part of the 2011-2012 Saxon Scope! I joined journalism because I like to express my opinions on different stories. I love music—specifically techno and hip-hop—but I’ll listen to virtually anything. I have an obsession with iTunes shopping, but I try to limit myself on how much I spend so my dad can at least pay his credit card (that was a large over-exaggeration in case you were wondering). I also love playing and watching sports. My favorite sport is football and my favorite team is the Philadelphia Eagles (sorry, Redskins fans). If you’re wondering why my name sounds Chinese it’s because I am. I’m half Chinese, even though I’ve been told numerous times that I don’t look it. Yup, just a little ff (fun fact) for ya. Anyway, I’m glad to be on the Saxon Scope staff and looking forward to a great year in Journalism!

Trick or treating: how old is too old?

Li Chien, Reporter
September 26, 2011

Trick-or-Treating is a favorite pastime for everyone, but there comes a point where having a forty-year old man walking up to his neighbor’s door asking for candy in a mummy costume made of toilet paper is a little…strange. Trick-or-Treating is acceptable for high-schoolers, even for... Read More
