About the Contributors
Alex O’Looney, Student Writer
Hello! My name is Alex O'Looney, and I'm a senior at GNA. I have lived in Nanticoke since 2018 after moving from Ireland. I am a multi-sport athlete, I play soccer, cross-country, swim, and track. I also hold a position in the Key Club.
Along with school and sports, I am a volunteer firefighter with the Nanticoke Fire Department. I have spent the last 2 and a half years training with the fire department. When I'm not doing training I am usually waiting for a fire call. In my free time, I typically watch sports, hang out with friends, and think about Ryan Reynolds.
After High School, I am going down to Fort Moore, Georgia to attend training for the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. After spending 22 weeks down there, I plan on going to either Kings College or Misericordia University to study criminal justice. I also hope to go into the Pennsylvania State Police.
Hunter Vitkauskas, Student Writer
My name is Hunter Vitkauskas, and I am a Junior here at Greater Area Nanticoke. I have lived in Nanticoke my entire life. This is my second year participating in Journalism. I am an active member of the GNA art club, Key Club, Future Business Leaders of America, and Aevidum.
Some of my hobbies include reading and writing. I see myself in ten years somewhere in Europe or New England. I have multiple countries on my bucket list as I love to travel.
After GNA I have plenty of colleges I wish to apply to including Penn State, Boston University, or UCLA. I would love to get my degree in Political Science. My goal would be to become either an attorney or a law professor.
Maurice Smith, Student Writer
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.
Hannah Fink, Student Writer
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.
