I am a member of Thespian Society. In my free time I like to play video games such as Roblox, Fortnite, and Stardew Valley, but I also love a lot of others. I love to watch movies such as “Pinocchio 3000,” “Shrek 2,” and “White Chicks.” I also love tv shows such as “South Park” and “Love it or List it.” I love listening to music, although I don’t have a favorite genre at the moment. Some of my favorite artists are Amy Winehouse, Ariana Grande, and Kacey Musgraves.

This is senior Parker Sobczak’s second year in journalism.
