Hey, I’m Angela Simmons, a junior at Triton High School!

I’m an active person in the Triton community and outside of the Triton community. See now, I don’t do a fall sport with Triton. It’s just that nothing appeals to me, but I do run indoor track and outdoor track. I love to keep moving and being physical seems I am a very energetic person so track helps me wind down. My older sister is nothing like me; she doesn’t do any sports but now that she is in her first year at CU Boulder in Colorado, she and I aren’t with each other 24/7 we have grown a stronger bond and I feel as though she is a built-in best friend. I also have a much older brother who I don’t know very well since we’re only related by my dad. He and I were very close when we were younger but now we see each other every couple of years, which yeah stinks but we call now and then.  I am very close with my family. Even my extended family. We love to have our traditions of, cookie baking, going to Millinocket, Maine, Sunday River, and my favorite:e we try to go on a crazy blowout trip all together; last time it was Italy.

I recently traveled with my best friend Lily D’Andrea. We do everything together. I’ve known her for about 14 years now and we’ve been pretty much inseparable since. We love to adventure and find new things to do together. Right next to her is Bella Carmody, we have been friends since freshman year. She and I don’t share any classes together but when it’s winter season for track, that’s the time when we are the closest. That pretty much sums up my closest friends. 

Journalism is so different from anything I’ve done in school. I don’t think I would take this up for a career, but I do find it fascinating how this writing style works. I do find a lot of joy in interviewing friends on some funny but also not-so-funny topics. 

I think writing for the school newspaper is important because the school will read it and find out more information about the school itself and what the students love or dislike about our school. I think that media is important for our community because let’s be real we would not know anything about what’s going on or maybe we would but it would be really difficult.

I haven’t decided on my career yet. But over the summer and the last couple of months in my sophomore year, I figured out that I find the female and male reproductive system pretty interesting. So I asked my dad who is a doctor what I could do that involves the reproductive systems. So an OB/GYN would be so interesting, which, yes, that is known to be kind of a difficult job. But I think it would fit me so well. 

I don’t have anything else I think is interesting about me. Although I do love to ski and care for my horses.
