Taylor Bio

Hi, I’m Taylor Nevins. I go to Poughkeepsie High School and I’m a sophomore there. I take various advanced classes, including AP European History, Trigonometry, and Chemistry. I love to draw and design characters in their own world. I doodle a lot and like to think about the various scenarios I can put my characters in. One of my characters is Anko, a male peasant who lives in a tyrannous kingdom with  greedy king. He is a thief, who steals because he needs to get by in life with his family. He is saved from getting his hand cut off by a mysterious man who is executed a few days later. Anko is still alive in the present, and went back to his thieving ways even after he almost lost his hands.

Simone

Hi!!!

My name is Simone Teague. I am 15 years old, and a student at Poughkeepsie High School. I love cooking, video games, renovation shows, drawing pigs, and technology confuses me. I have two brothers, one older one younger. My parents used to own a restaurant, but that is now a thing of the past. I am taking three AP classes, I cant take naps, and I am gluten-free.  Oh and I HATE grammar. And I cant spell. At all. Nope.

Karen’s bio

Hi, my name is Karen. I’m 16. I’m a pluviophile, and I’m sure some of you are, too. I’ve been playing violin since 4th grade. I’m a junior in high school now, and avidly looking for something to do with the rest of my life.

DO NOT watch If I Stay unless you want to be sad for a week. The Fault in Our Stars is another movie you should only watch if you want to cry. BUT The Giver was great, even though it strayed from the book a little. I still recommend it.

I read a lot, so if there are any books you think I should read, let me know.

A bit about Evans

Evans Miller

 

Hi!

My name is Evans Miller and I am a senior at Vassar College. I am 22 years old and am from Austin, Texas. Like most Texans, I love warm weather, so these New York winters I find to be pretty brutal. I study Psychology and hope to go to law school next fall. I transferred to Vassar my sophomore year and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Here is a video to get know a little bit more about me!

 

 

 

 

 

Kene Nwosu Introduction

foreduc

Hey there,

My name is Kenechukwu–it’s a mouthful–but feel free to call me Kene (Keh-Neh). I’m a biology major at Vassar, also getting a certified in adolescent education.

I’m from far, far away: Lagos, Nigeria. It’s Africa’s most populous city, and has tons of interesting stuff to do, but can also get really crowded. Case in point: driving two miles to my elementary school took me about an hour, thanks to held-up traffic.

I hope to teach internationally after my time at Vassar, and eventually work as a public health practitioner.

In my free time, I love to play tennis, the piano, youtube videos and old pokemon games.

Looking forward to meeting you!
