My name is Maurice Smith and I am a senior at Greater Nanticoke Area. I used to live in Brooklyn, NY until I moved to Nanticoke when I was in 5th grade. This is my first year in Journalism and I am very excited to spend the school year in this class. I am involved in many of the arts at GNA, such as the Marching Band, Concert Band, and theater. I was also responsible for Key Club's Webmaster last year. Hopefully, I will continue to be the Webmaster this year. In my free time, I love playing video games on my Xbox, watching TV Shows on Netflix, and scrolling on TikTok. I also love hanging out with friends and going to new places that I’ve never been to. I plan on going to college after this year and I plan on majoring in psychology. I would love to have a career in psychology and help out others in need when it comes to mental health.

My name is Taylor Kreitzer, and I'm a Junior at GNA High School. I've lived in Nanticoke my whole life since head-start. I moved schools at the end of second grade and went to Hanover for two and a half years. I then came back to Nanticoke in fourth grade, and have been here ever since. This is my second year in the journalism program, and I plan to keep doing it up until my senior year! Some of my hobbies include drawing, painting, biking, and working out.  Not many people know that I boxed, and I'm very passionate about it. I haven't always boxed; I started off with cheer for a while and continued up until I was twelve. I did boxing for two years and instead of boxing I now work harder toward my academics. After high school, I plan to go to Wilkes University or PSWU, to study forensic science and criminology. Even though I'm not set in stone for my future career, I just work towards my goal. This is the biggest goal I have set for myself and I can't wait to hopefully achieve it!

My name is Jackson Hull, a junior at Greater Nanticoke High School. I have lived and gone to school in Nanticoke my entire life. This will be my first year as a student writer for The GNA Insider. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to write for the school paper. Some hobbies I love are hiking/camping, playing baseball, hanging with my friends, listening to music, and going to the gym. Currently, I work as a caterer for Mission BBQ in Wilkes Barre. Something that not a lot of people know about me is that I play the bass for a band that I am in. We just started playing together and I'm really excited to see where it goes. I plan on joining the Marines after graduation. I chose to join because it's a unique experience, but I also have a lot of family members who were and are in the military. The Marines are the greatest military in the world and it's an honor to be a part of that.

My name is Hannah Fink, and I’m a senior at GNA. I fearlessly fill the role of Student Council President and I currently work at an ice cream shop. I have six slightly different cameras that I use to do amateur photography. I often spend my time as a Swiftie, constantly making friendship bracelets. I even went to Paris to attend one of her concerts.        In my free time, I like to read, bake, and hang out with friends. My current favorite song is “New Year’s Day” by Taylor Swift. I like to consider myself a Taylor Swift connoisseur, constantly collecting her merch items and listening to her music 24/7. My guilty pleasure is eating peanut butter smidgens and chocolate wave cake.    At this time, my path for the future is uncertain. While I intend to go to college, I have yet to decide on the field that interests me the most. I hope to enter a program that I'm passionate about. I hope that my choice will be fulfilling and lucrative. It would be nice to own a beach house one day.
