Hello! My name is Benjamin, also known as Benji, and I'm a junior at Stroudsburg High School. I am non-binary and I go by they/them pronouns. This is my first year on the newspaper and already I know that I will be a part of it until I graduate. My favorite hobbies are reading and writing, and I plan on utilizing these skills to write amazing articles. I also love listening to music; Covet is my favorite band at the moment. (Check them out!) I am dual enrolling with ESU this year and after high school I plan on going to medical school to become a pediatric oncologist.
