Hey, everyone! My name is Nika Polenok and I am a sophomore. I am very excited to be a part of The Leaf this year because journalism is a brand-new experience for me and I hope that it will become my new hobby. I am looking forward to meeting new people, becoming a better writer, and having fun :) I spend my free time drawing, listening to music, playing guitar, or sleeping. Also, once in a while, I write poems. Go Aves!
