Abigail Ziemer is a senior at Normal Community High School and participates in track and field. This is her first year as an Inskpot staff writer. 

On the weekends I enjoy spending time with my dog, Baxter, being outside and seeing my friends.

What inspires me is the people and community in BloNo.

I like creating art, drinking coffee and listening to Taylor Swift.
