My name is Hunter Vitkauskas, and I am a Senior here at Greater Nanticoke Area. This is my third year in Journalism. I am an active member of Key Club and Future Business Leaders of America, and I serve as the President of GNA’s Student Council. Some of my interests include analyzing television and films, as well as writing.  I see myself in 10 years, hopefully rich or working as a practicing attorney. I also love to travel, my bucket list countries include Iceland and France. My favorite genre of writing is specifically satirical media. After I graduate, I plan on going to college to major in Political Science. Eventually, I want to go to law school and become a practicing attorney, hopefully representing people who don’t have a voice.

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.

My name is Pyper Lewis, and I am a Junior at GNA High School. This is my second year doing journalism. I still enjoy math. I definitely still only have a few friends and still know many people.

My hobbies include lifting, working, hanging out with family and friends, and math. I mostly enjoy going to the gym and lifting with my brother. 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 still don’t know what I want to do after high school. I don’t have much time to decide. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for me!

My name is Sophia Gronka and this is my last year of high school. I moved to Nanticoke at the beginning of my sophomore year. I’m in Key Club and Drama Club because I love getting involved in school and helping out others. One of my biggest hobbies is refurbishing. I love taking a vintage piece to fix it up and give it some life again. In my opinion, after all that work it’s the best trophy you can get. My other passions are reading, music, and fashion. I love the vintage 2000s look and especially the music. I am taking AP Literature this year because I love reading and challenging myself to find deeper meanings in important and noteworthy books. In the future, I want to study forensics and psychology, and possibly law too. I would love to go to West Virginia University because my sister goes there. They have an amazing forensics program and the campus is beautiful. Another goal for my future is to keep my side hustle of refurbishing antiques, it is an awesome hobby to have to make extra money on the side. A really big goal of mine is to buy a house in Naples Florida where I have family there. I have been visiting there my whole life so in the future, I would love to have a vacation home there.

My name is Lyrik Alonso, and I am a senior at GNA and Treasurer of the Art Club. This is my second year of Journalism and I’m excited to have some fun. Over the summer, I mostly did my AP Lit summer work and celebrated my birthday. In my free time, I enjoy reading and writing. I love to sew and design clothing. I enjoy watching movies of any genre and listening to any type of music. In the future, my plan is to attend college back in NY, whether it be for teaching or fashion design. I have always loved the arts and working with children, as I am the oldest of 4.

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 a grocery store. 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 and Canada to attend two of her concerts.        In my free time, I like to read, bake, and hang out with friends. My all-time 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.
