Daniel Shevchenko, Student Writer
My name is Daniel Shevchenko, and I am a sophomore at the Greater Nanticoke Area High School. I have lived in Nanticoke for six years, having moved here from Wilkes-Barre at age eight. I am the secretary of the Interact Club for the 2018-2019 school year, and have participated in the student organization for three years. I have also been a member of the Drama Club for three plays, including this year’s – “The Little Mermaid.” I have several major hobbies outside of schoolwork, including reading classical and/or heartbreaking novels, learning languages, programming, and the occasional video game or two. I also enjoy caring for my poodle, named Marquis.
I have traveled to several countries over the course of my life including Canada, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. I consider travel to be a very valuable experience for discovering cultures and educating oneself about both the good and bad of our world, and it is a life goal which I intend accomplish once my financial situation permits it.
Once I complete my high school education, I intend to attend an Ivy League university—my eyes are currently set on the University of Pennsylvania or Columbia—with a major in Computer Programming or Law.
