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 Lyrik Alonso. I'm a junior in high school and am in the Art Club. I enjoy doing crafts such as crocheting, knitting, and sewing. I also enjoy art, reading, and fashion design. When crocheting, I love making clothes like tops and sweaters. I also like making household things like coasters and want to start making lace. When it comes to art I tend to sketch a lot. I can also do more detailed drawings like portraits or still lifes. I adore reading fantasy and mystery books. With fashion design and sewing, I love to drape and create pieces while drawing looks to be used on runways. In the future, I aspire to pursue my interest in fashion design by going to a fashion school in Manhattan. I want to further my education here at GNA and continue my honors classes. By senior year, I hope to be a part of the language honors society, and multiple AP classes. I hope to be more involved in school groups and clubs.

My name is Pyper Lewis, and I am a sophomore at GNA High School. This is my first year doing journalism. I am definitely a math nerd. I have been involved with GNA's softball team since my freshman year. While I have very few friends, I know many people. My hobbies include softball, playing video games, hanging out with family and friends, and math. I mostly enjoy playing softball with my friends. Some of the video games I play are Fortnite and Minecraft. When I spend time with my family and friends, we watch movies together. I have always enjoyed math since a young age, and amazing teachers have helped me enjoy the subject. I plan to go to college in the near future. My future education is still undecided; however, I do know that I want to pursue something related to math. I still have time to decide. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for me!
