About the Contributors
Emma Hollenbeck, Year 2
Emma Hollenbeck is an eleventh grade student whose passion is writing and expressing her creativity. Emma’s interests led her to join the journalism program at her high school, where she has written many articles and appears on the weekly school news broadcast Trojan TV. What she loves most about journalism is working together with a group to create incredible projects. Emma considers herself a talented writer, and she enjoys coming up with article topics that people will be interested to read about. Her favorite articles she has written are titled “Creating worlds from words” and “A week of awareness.”
Currently in her junior year of high school, Emma believes she has improved in journalism since her first year of taking the class. She has learned many skills in editing and filming for class projects. Also, Emma has met new people with whom she enjoys working in the school studio. She believes that if someone follows his/her passion, it will not be regretted.
Emma joined journalism in the first place because of her interest in the writing field, and she even enjoys writing stories of her own. Emma plans on continuing journalism for her senior year of high school, and she hopes to make new friendships along the way.
Giada Bahamonde, Year 1
Giada Bahamonde is a first year Journalism student in the eleventh grade. With her interest in working in the media field, she decided this class would be a great place to start. She hopes to work in the NHL on a media team in the future. This comes from her love of hockey that started at an early age. Because she can’t ice skate without embarrassing herself, working on a media team would be a better career choice. Since this is her first year, she does not have a lot of experience, but she is excited to learn how to do everything.
Hailey Lesh, Year 1
Hailey Lesh is a 16-year-old Junior. After moving to the North Pocono School District at age 7, she began her love of cheerleading and school. Following the Junior Trojan Cheerleading program from first grade to eighth grade, she tried out for the high school cheerleading team. Making the varsity football cheerleading team, she has cheered on the football team for three years and counting. She ultimately decided that cheerleading alone was not enough of a connection to the hobby and began coaching for the very program that she grew up idolizing.
While continuing her passion for cheerleading, she has maintained High Honors for both years she has been in high school and began taking accelerated courses in seventh grade. Since then, she has followed through with her accelerated courses and even jumped to begin taking college level (AP) courses in her sophomore year beginning with AP Biology and AP Statistics, later taking AP Chemistry, AP Seminar, and AP World History in her junior year. She plans to pursue her passion of law and argument following her High School career with her final goal to become a corporate attorney.
In the meantime, she will continue to challenge herself with an advanced workload while doing what makes her happy and trying to enjoy her last two years of high school as they are quickly coming to an end!
Lily Thomas, Year 1
Lily Thomas is a senior. This is her first year in Journalism and she’s never been more excited. Lily is extremely strong-minded and loves sharing what she thinks. That could be writing about a topic she feels strong about or just being able to share her thoughts. Lily is a very hard worker and has managed to work two jobs at once for the last three years while still exceeding the best of her abilities in school. Lily is a strong, verbal, positive young woman. She is always up to talk to anyone and everyone when she gets the chance.
With finally getting to graduate and moving on to bigger and better things, she will be attending college. She is still unsure of where, but knows that she wants to do something with children whether that’s being a teacher or child welfare social worker. She is looking forward to her senior year and getting the chance to grow and get ready to start big moves.
