Hi! My name is Anna Wegener and I am a senior at SHS. This is my third year at The Leaf and I am very excited to be the Deputy Content editor and Focus section editor, which means I oversee all the writing components that go into our cover section and focus section. I am thrilled to be a part of the collaborative, behind-the-scenes work it takes to produce a news magazine. While I have always been interested in writing, I had never gotten a chance to freely and independently write without all the irritating language arts class rubrics – until I joined journalism!

   Besides journalism, I run cross country, and winter and spring track. I’ve run cross-country and track since 7th grade, and honestly, it is my favorite part of the day. When I’m not running, I like to read (anything!) and spend time with my dog Winnie (lots of walks and tennis ball hunts). I am also always down for binge-watching “Airplane Repo” and taking a good nap on a rainy day. In addition, one of my latest hobbies has been early morning bike rides with my dad to try all the Cincinnati doughnut bakeries. As of this year, I’d recommend the seasonal hot chocolate or year-round buckeye doughnuts at Holtman’s. 

   Journalism is such an underrated class and I would encourage you to join it next year! It is quite literally the best group project you will ever have.
