    Hi! My name is Ollie, I am eighteen years old, and I am a senior at Herron High School. I am one of the Editors in Chief of the HHS Yearbook. I have been in Yearbook since my junior year. My favorite part of Yearbook is taking pictures and designing layouts. I am also one of the class officers of National Art Honors Society at Herron. I spend my free time reading, doing art, listening to music, playing video games, and hanging out with my friends. I love to do art, whether it’s drawing, painting, photography, collage, crochet, or anything else. I love animals and collecting trinkets. I have two dogs and a cat that I spend most of my time with. I like to listen to any music genres but my favorites are indie, folk, and rock. One of my favorite things to do is go to concerts. My favorite music artists are Liana Flores, Big Thief, and The Strokes. My favorite classes are AP environmental Science, Drawing, and Yearbook. Next year, I plan to go to school at Indiana University to study biology. I am excited for the change in environment and challenge next year will bring, but I will miss participating in Yearbook.
