I’m a sophomore at SHS. This is my second year taking journalism. Zayn Malik, Beyonce and Dylan O’Brien are the most beautiful people I know. In my free time I like to hang out with friends and watch Netflix. Some of my favorite shows are “Revenge,” “New Girl,” “The Following,” and “The Walking Dead.” My favorite books are “The Fault in Our Stars” and “Divergent.”  I also play Girls Varsity Tennis for SHS
