Starting her high school career, freshman Audrey Rostowsky is stoked to be writing for the Wildcat Chronicle. On weekends, she can be found watching war documentaries, shopping for new books to add to her lengthy “to be read” pile, or listening to ’80s funk music. In the future, Audrey envisions herself as a Naval aviator, soaring the skies in an F/A-18 Hornet.

Flor Leal is excited — and a little nervous — about her first year in journalism. Joining the Wildcat Chronicle is something new for her and a step outside her comfort zone. Since it is her last year of high school, she wanted to try something different. Flor enjoys drawing and reading or listening to books, which helps her multitask when needed. Outside of school, she can often be found watching her favorite shows or spending time with her dog, Kasper.
