What the FHN Media Team is Into
By On Behalf the Web Team
Throughout the 2018-19 school year, the FHNtoday and FHNgameday Teams will be busy telling the story of the students and community of FHN. Since they’ll be busy doing that, they wanted to take some time out of their day now to introduce themselves to you. This week, they’ll tell you one thing they’re really into. From running to photography and poetry, their interests are incredibly diverse. We believe this is a sign of the coverage to come this school year.

What I’m Interested In: Languages
I love learning new languages; they hide a lot of fun, effort and experiences. I speak Italian, English, French and Spanish and this made me understand that learning a new language means a lot of effort, but at the same time it opens a brand new world where you can find new friends and new experiences. A philosopher used to say that for every language you speak you will have a different life, and being...

What I’m Interested In: Gaming Tournaments
I can recall playing video games for the majority of my life. One game series that stood out to me the most was the Nintendo fighting game, Super Smash Brothers. Around last year my friends and I had enough courage to travel to Downtown Saint Louis to compete in tournaments and we’ve been competing ever since. I try to compete at least once a month, under the alias Battu. Although I haven’t won...

What I’m Interested In: Movies
While most nap after a hard day, I relax by watching movies. I can easily watch two to four movies a day. Movies allow me to take a break from this world and enter the world of that movie. My favorite movie genres are dramas and horror. Some of my favorite movies are: Interstellar, Atonement and Hush.

What I’m Interested In: Knitting
I am interested in Knitting. I have many hobbies, but knitting is my favorite. I enjoy knitting for various reasons. I find knitting to be relaxing, I look forward to sitting in my favorite spot and working on my most recent knitting project, it could be a scarf or a hat. Knitting is also very rewarding, I enjoy making my project as gifts and seeing the enjoyment my knitting brings to my friends a...

What I’m Interested In: Sports Journalism
I started playing sports when I was 3-years-old, when my parents introduced me to soccer and baseball. I eventually found my passion for sports when I was 10-years-old. I started watching sports and started paying attention to stats, players and the histories of the teams, players and sports as well. I eventually started studying sports journalism the beginning of sophomore year, when I joined web staff i...

What I’m Interested In: “Survivor”
Survivor is one of the most well known televised social experiments and has been one of my favorite shows to watch since I was in first grade. Each episode brings great action, drama, twists and surprises. It’s very easy to see how it’s been able to reach almost 40 seasons. Not to mention, each contestant of each season shares different personalities to help make each season more intriguing. T...

What I’m Interested In: Skate Fashion
So lately I’ve been learning how to skate. At the beginning it’s hard, you fall a lot and get a ton of bruises. Even before I started learning how to skate, I started dressing like it. I wear Thrasher Skateboard Magazine shirts even though I’ve never read it, I wear vans that have never touched a board. Why am I into it? Being a skater is cool, you do cool tricks and impress people with your s...

What I’m Interested In: Soccer
I love soccer. I have played it since I was four-years-old. I started to play select soccer in second grade and I now play on St. Louis Scott Gallagher’s 02 Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) team. We are currently in first place in our Midwest Conference at 6-0-0 and ranked second place in the nation, in the league. I plan on playing soccer in college and seeing where it takes me. ...

What I’m Interested In: Sports
Sports have played a huge part in my life. I love to watch all sports especially tennis, basketball, football, golf and baseball. I play basketball and tennis at school, and in my free time, love to play golf. I will always be a Chicago sports fan, no matter where I live. Go Cubs!

What I’m Interested In: Coffee
When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is make a cup of coffee. Depending on what day it is, I like to differentiate between dark roast, light roast, mild, bold, basically whatever I’m feeling. I began my love for coffee when I was just 9-years-old, going to my grandmother’s house every weekend. She would buy whole coffee beans from the grocery store and mash them herself and make ...

What I’m Interested In: Gavin Atkinson
As some of our avid and dedicated readers may remember, I chose Gavin Atkinson for my muse last year. I tried to think of a better subject to write about this time around, but I soon found out that you can’t get much better than Gavin. The photo displayed says it all. His freshly permed hair. The casual yet fashionable baseball tee. Even down to his personable taste in jewelry. Even a year later, ...

What I’m Interested In: Buying Clothes
Hey there, my name is Gavin ‘Better Late than Never’ Atkinson. The only thing I love more than hearing my own voice is buying things that I don’t need. Do you know that euphoria that comes from buying a brand new pair of socks from amazon or a double gulp of sprite from 7 Eleven? Now, imagine that feeling, but ten times over and everyday of your life. Imagine your closet a cave of eclectic merch...

What I’m Interested In: Cars and Trucks
I like Cars and Trucks, because there are so many different kinds of vehicles. What I like about them is the way they sound and how fast they can go. I like cars and trucks so much that I am going to Universal Technical Institute which is a tech college, where you can learn how to build engines and fix cars and trucks. I am going to college to be an Auto/Diesel Technician.

What I’m Interested In: Gaming
I’m really into gaming, and the gaming community and general. Each game I play is a new story unfurling itself before me, and I love watching how each plays out and getting myself embedded in the story itself. It’s also a great way to spend time with friends, and each multiplayer game is an adventure.

What I’m Interested In: Crime TV Shows
I'm interested in crime TV shows. On a lazy day one can normally find me in front of my TV reciting every word of the Law and Order: SVU introduction. It is my personal belief that Ice-T is the best detective on Law and Order SVU. It is a genre that I have been around all my life, because my mom and grandma also watch shows like CSI, NCIS and Law and Order. ...

What I’m Interested In: Story Writing
Something I’ve always been interested in is story writing, I've always had this weird thing where I wanted to make characters that people can relate to, characters that someone they love as much as I love. I want people to know the stories of these characters, I want them to see and feel their emotions, see their story and learn to love them. I had always hoped that a story I create could help som...

What I’m Interested In: Sam Smith
My favorite musician is Sam Smith. I love everything from his music to the man behind it. Sam Smith’s music is so inspirational to me. Yes, it can be depressing sometimes, but his music can really pick me up when I'm having a bad day. My favorite Sam Smith song is called “Make it to Me.” The song sounds sad at first, in actuality it is such a hopeful song. He also puts on amazing concerts, I wen...

What I’m Interested In: Evolution
Sitting back and thinking about how life works and why we do the things we do and how situations occur is really mind-blowing to me. I really enjoy listening to how other people’s lives are, because it’s so fascinating how someone can be so different from you, which is also amazing in a way to know that we all live and do the same thing, but we are totally different. Life is just an outstanding thi...
