Hello, my name is Ethan Balcik. I enjoy long walks on the beach and talking for hours about my feelings. Just kidding, I am a student at Stroudsburg High School and a proud member of the Stroudsburg golf and wrestling teams. I plan to attend Penn State University's Bellisario College of communications. If you need somebody to make a quality video for you, HIT ME UP!
