Assignment 1 - Kenna Miller

Hello! I'm Kenna! I am referred to as McKenna by Mr Wise and Keena by my peers and the lady on the announcements. I am 15 years old and I live close to the Clark County line. I was born on September 8, 2000 in Lexington. I went to Dixie Elementary Magnet School and Winburn Middle School.

My father works as an ER Physician, loves cats, and knows way too much music; My mother plans trips, does laundry, and drives my brother to and from school (a jack of all trades!); My brother has a privacy advantage (he has a laptop), enjoys playing Clicker Heroes, and gives my mother shoulder massages. What I do is learn languages, play video games, read, and listen to music (and create playlists from them). I know some Spanish and French and I can read Bulgarian, Korean, and extremely basic Japanese. I love to play League of Legends and Overwatch in my spare time. My favorite book right now is Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck. My favorite Harry Potter book is Order of the Phoenix. I use Spotify to listen to various Korean artists, Zedd, and Disclosure and Classic Rock 92.1 is my alarm in the morning. I'd like to travel to Japan, Egypt, India, and Korea someday.

Personal goals for this year include being more organized, biking more often, writing articles for Side by Side News, and finding more new music. Academically, I'd like to pace my APUSH homework evenly and pass AP Physics-- both are challenging so far.

I did not go anywhere exciting this summer except the University of Michigan campus, which was very beautiful. By meaningful, I go to Side By Side News meetings every Saturday at Sphinx Academy, next to the DMV. The organization's goal is to write articles with as little bias as possible. It is run mainly by Henry Clay and a couple of Sphinx students. My job is to post on Twitter, Facebook, and the website with new updates. This regular activity is one I really enjoy being a part of. We hope to recruit more diverse writers soon, so please feel free to write to info@sidebysidenews.org. 

If I had a superpower, I would probably want to teleport. It would be very nice to pick some flowers in Japan and put them in my room. I could also get into the Olympics without a ticket. I just hope that I don't get a bad headache.

Things I geek out for: K-POP (as many of you know already), Harry Potter, Star Wars, cool music videos (mainly OKGO), Disney movies, Zedd, K-POP again, my favorite artist Sakimi-chan, and whatever new I Am Number Four book comes out. Image below is the astrological sign Sagittarius by Sakimi-chan. I wish I could paint that well.

Here is an amazing music video: Baby I'm Yours by Breakbot.
Creds to En for showing me this fantastic artist :)
