About the Contributors
Avani Rai, Editor-in-Chief
Avani Rai is a senior at Normal Community High School and is a part of the Speech Team, FBLA, and Swim team. This is her second year working with the Inkspot, where she is a senior staff reporter.
Random fact about me is I’ve been to 10 countries outside of the United States.
My hidden talent is that I am a fantastic procrastinator.
My slogan to live by is never be afraid to make someone’s day. Whether that’s something small, like complimenting someone in the hallways, or something big, like advocating for what you believe in.
Ethan Scott, Staff Writer
Ethan Scott is a senior at NCHS, where he participates in theatre. This is his first year as a member of the Inkspot staff.
In my free time, I like to watch football and baseball.
My dream is to become a beat writer for the Packers. I hope to study sports journalism in college.
Samantha Coleman, Staff Writer
Samantha is a senior at NCHS. She is not in any school-related activities; however, she is involved in the AWANA program at her church. This is her first year with the Inkspot as a staff writer.
My slogan to live by is even if you are on the right track, you will get ran over if you just sit there.
My favorite film is “Bounty Hunters.”
