My name is Chriselda Sedorchuk, and I am currently a senior at GNA. I've been attending GNA my whole life. This is my first year in the journalism program. I currently work in an ice cream shop. I've participated in chorus throughout elementary and middle school, and I also played softball in middle school. I spend a lot of time taking photos to capture and remember the memories I make.In my free time, I like to read, watch movies, and play video games when I get the chance. My favorite movie series is The Hunger Games. My favorite music artists are Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and Olivia Rodrigo. I am also a Marvel and DC fan. I would love to travel the world one day and photograph all the beautiful scenery. I would love to visit France or Italy.At this time, I am stuck on two very different future jobs. I would like to go into the trades for welding, but my other choice would be to go to college to get a bachelor's degree in criminal justice so I can become a detective. I hope I get the chance to live close to a beach one day.
My name is Coraliz Garcia, and I am currently a sophomore here at GNA. I’ve been attending the Greater Nanticoke Area School District since kindergarten. This is my first year participating in Journalism, and I am more than happy to spend my time doing so. I try to involve myself with things to keep myself busy. I participated in chorus throughout the years and just started art club last year. I have an interest in volleyball, and I am currently on an all-star cheerleading team out of town, and I’ve been able to travel to places I haven't been before. I work in the Poconos or at an arena to increase my money balance to travel for cheer.
Some of my hobbies are playing online games, drawing, and writing. I usually put emotion into when I draw or when I write to myself. I love listening to music - it brings me peace. I see myself as outgoing but I don’t let anything or anyone get in my way because I have a future to fulfill and you only live once so, why let the little things bother you?
I plan to get myself into a good college to be a psychologist. I have always been into psychology and helping people solve their problems. No one can achieve something so quickly. Everything is a process and will take time.
My name is Mackenzie Hall, I am currently a senior at Greater Nanticoke Area High School, and this is my first year in journalism. Throughout my high school career, I have been a part of the National Honors Society, World Language Honors Society, and Student Council, have competed in Pennsylvania’s Junior Academy of Science three times and started a nonprofit called the Wizards of Wonder through the Junior Leadership program. Currently, I am Student Council President and am balancing four AP classes with my various other responsibilities at school and home along with my personal relations. I would have to say that some of my greatest passions lie in literature, whether that involves reading a classic novel or writing poetry. I also spend my time cooking new recipes, painting with oil pastels, and making good memories with those that I love. I enjoy topics such as gender studies, political science, and psychology; however, I have always had a great love for the STEM field as well, and have worked to ensure that my time in school engages that interest. I am in the process of applying to college through the QuestBridge program with intentions of majoring in Biology with a possible minor in Neuroscience or Psychology. I aspire to become a Pediatric Neurosurgeon, though with a mind that appreciates many possibilities, I could see myself pursuing a career related to law or global affairs. No matter what happens, I highly look forward to seeing how my future plays out.
My name is Keira Allabaugh, and I am a sophomore at Greater Nanticoke Area High School. This is my first year as a student writer for journalism.
This is my second year at GNA High School. I used to live in Kingston and went to Wyoming Valley West until 8th grade. Some of my interests and hobbies would be quading, writing, playing guitar and ukulele, and riding my bike. I play soccer and I love the teamwork it requires.
I am excited to see what 2023-2024 has in store for me this year because every year is a new opportunity to make better choices and make the best out of life! After high school, I plan to go to LCCC to become an RN.
