Romeo Alfaro has made the life-changing decision to take Journalism for his final year as a soon-to-be graduate of WEGO. Romeo is dedicated to running; he has been a part of the track and cross country team since freshman year and made it to Varsity his sophomore year, as well as being promoted captain and given a trophy for being the most improved of the season at his awards night. More importantly though, Romeo is obsessed with Tyler, the Creator, as he reflects his whole personality around him. 

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.

Ja’Nyah is a junior this year, and excited to be writing and training for the Chronicle! She is very driven and dedicated to her schoolwork and extracurricular activities. Outside of Journalism, Ja’Nyah is an active member of Wego Drama and her hobbies include reading and listening to music. In the future, Nyah hopes to pursue a career in literary editing or journalism after college.
