Hello! My name is Nicole and I am a junior at Teaneck High School. I took Journalism this year because I enjoy writing and I wanted to be more involved in and educated on important topics. I am more acquainted with writing creatively, but nonfiction writing is important and I seek to step outside my comfort zone and improve. Friends describe me as hardworking, creative, considerate, optimistic, and caring. I value art, empathy, music, strong connections, and my academic career. I dedicate a lot of time to completing work but, in my free time, I enjoy creating art, listening to music, watching shows, and spending time with friends. In this class, I look forward to informing myself and others on important topics of the world.
