About the Contributor

Izabella Gronka, Student Writer

My name is Izabella Gronka, and I’m a junior here at GNA. I’ve been attending GNA my entire life. I’m a 3-year member of the Nanticoke Varsity Cheerleading Team and have been a cheerleader for the last 11 years. During my time at GNA, I’ve also participated in basketball, soccer, volleyball, field hockey, track and field, and was a dancer before my years as a cheerleader. This past year I was given the opportunity to play Aunt Em and Glinda in my school’s production of Wizard of Oz. I am also vice president of my junior class and am a member of the National Honors Society and World Language Honors Society. Outside of school, I spend my time listening to music, watching movies, painting, and spending time with my loved ones. I love to play guitar and express myself through music. I attend Nebo Baptist Church and volunteer in their annual VBS and other activities. I enjoy spending my time with other people and keep myself quite busy. I have two American Bullies named Gemini and Beeja. A fun fact about me is that I’m a Harry Styles fan and got the chance to see him in concert last year at Madison Square Garden. While at the concert, the staff there moved me from my upper bowl seat to the floor! After high school, I plan on going to college and receiving a Bachelor's degree in either Business or Communications. Although I’m still split on what I’d like to do with that degree, I’ve concluded that I’ll either go into the music industry as a tour manager, or I’ll get a cosmetology license and open my own salon. When I graduate college, I would like to live somewhere close to the east coast. However, nothing is set in stone and my life could go in a completely different direction. Whatever path I choose to take I just hope to feel proud of myself and content with where I’ve gotten.
