I am a senior and this is currently my fourth year on The Leaf staff. I am one of the staff writers this year although I have previously been an A&E chief. I thoroughly enjoy writing articles about video games as gaming is one of my many hobbies. My favorite movies are “The Untouchables” and “Gladiator” because both are very inspiring and well-made movies. At SHS I am a member of the Boys Varsity Water Polo Team as well as the Boys Varsity Swim Team, I also do club swimming with the Cincinnati Marlins in the spring and summer.
