Hi! My name is Raiha Khan, I am a 15-year-old junior, and this is my second year on the Journalism staff. I decided to join yet another year as an opportunity to grow my writing skills and work with IKE News Media as a team to publish stellar newspapers. My hobbies consist of reading and going for walks. My ideal day goes like this: waking up early in the morning, ordering Dunkin coffee, and then driving around the park while putting BTS on blast. In the future I want to travel all around the world. For now though, I’m ready for a bright and hopefully quarantine-free year.
