Kaya Bradford, Staff Writer
Kaya Bradford is a junior student attending Heritage High School. This is her third year of Journalism, and her fifth semester. It has always been her favorite class to attend, since day one freshman year when she first entered the course. In Kaya’s spare time, she enjoys listening to (a LOT of) music, including Deftones, Modern Baseball, Nettspend, McCafferty, Radiohead, 2Hollis, Fakemink, The Hellp, Blood Orange, Playboi Carti, and many other artists from varying genres. She also enjoys reading, writing, drawing, and some other various creative outlets. While she enjoys many aspects of human expression, she refers to music as her favorite thing. Kaya also loves spending time with animals, including her cat, Clancy, who was originally a stray but is now a housecat. She also enjoys quite a few movies and shows, including “Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind,” “New Girl,” “Ladybird,” “Heathers,” “Mysterious Skin,” “Bones and All,” and all of the “Harry Potter” movies, though she says “Prisoner of Azkaban” is the best one. Kaya’s favorite books include “Lord Of the Flies,” “P.S I Still Love You,” “One Of Us Is Lying,” “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” and “IT.” Kaya also enjoys comedians and Youtubers Kurtis Conner, Danny Gonzalez, Wendigoon, and the Sturniolo Triplets. Most of all, Kaya enjoys spending time with her friends, animals, and family.
November Lansden, Staff Writer
November Lansden is a 15-year-old sophomore at Heritage High School. They are particularly excited about working for the Journalism program as a whole, especially as a veteran. Normally, you can catch them reading a book about history, or maybe a Stephen King novel, but sometimes they dwindle in a bit of romance/sci-fi. Their favorite music artists at the time are Fiona Apple, Jeff Buckley, and Elliott Smith, but they also like to listen to Broadway soundtracks from their favorite musicals. Their favorite movies are “The Lego Batman Movie” and “Juno,” although they also like “The Lego Movie” and consider it a close third. Their favorite things to do are read, write, and help anyone in need whenever they can, whether it be sitting with them at lunch or giving them a piece of paper. They have two pet cats and two pet dogs, which they got to name themself. Their two cats are named Gizmo and Blaze, and their two dogs are named Little and Apple. In their spare time, they like catching up with their assignments and playing many popular video games like Animal Crossing and games from the Sonic series. This is their second year of journalism, and they’re so very excited to see what this year will bring!
