Ruby Guerrero Lopez is a sophomore at West Chicago Community High School, and is new to journalism. Occasionally, you can find her out walking her dog, but you will always see her writing, reading, or drawing; she is a huge Harry Potter and Marvel fan and can talk your ear off about either (and frequently does). She is hoping to write some stories for the Wildcat Chronicle this year, but ultimately wants to pursue a job in the STEM field as an engineer or peds worker, which would obviously involve a bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate.

Ronyiah Newcombe is a freshman at WEGO and a first-time member of the Wildcat Chronicle. She is excited to improve her writing skills and learn new ways to tell stories. In her free time, Ronyiah enjoys watching movies and listening to music. Her favorite films are “ATL” and “Annie” (starring Quvenzhané Wallis), and her go-to artists include Tupac, Jhené Aiko, and Brent Faiyaz. While she loves ’90s soulful music, she also has a passion for volleyball, playing right side for West Chicago’s volleyball program. On weekends, Ronyiah spends time with her family, often attending her little brother’s feeder basketball games, where her dad coaches. Looking ahead, she hopes to become a more confident writer and develop her social skills. Ronyiah is also passionate about real estate and interior design, fields she hopes to pursue in the future.
