Anika Sanka is a senior at Robinson High School and is the co-editor-in-chief (EIC) of the Knight Writers. This is her third year on staff. In her freshman year, even though she wanted to be on newspaper, she chose to do an AP elective. The following year, she joined the newspaper after being recommended to it by her cousin, Vikram Sambasivan, a former EIC of the Knight Writers. “I really wanted to do an elective that wasn’t an AP just to boost my GPA, but something I could actually do something in. I also wanted to improve my writing,” Sanka said. Being an EIC this year, Sanka has many goals for the newspaper as a whole. One of them is to earn an All-Florida award from the Florida Scholastic Press Association. “I think we are very capable of it. I’m honestly so happy I am EIC now,” Sanka said. “I now have the position and ability to implement things so we can be a really be a well-structured newspaper and win these awards.” Outside of newspaper, Sanka enjoys spending time playing sports. She is on the varsity track team, but she also likes to find time to play other sports as well. “In middle school, I did rowing for a while; that was fun, but I just wasn’t the best at it. I always found my way back to running. I love track. I love our community, and I love the team. I’ve also been dancing for a while. I like doing sports and activities like this just for fun,” Sanka said. When Sanka isn’t running or working, she enjoys spending free time watching 2000s movies with friends. In addition, Sanka doesn’t have a particular favorite music artist, but her favorite music genres are pop, rock and indie. “[My favorite movie is] ‘She’s the Man.’ It’s a 2000s movie, and it has Amanda Bines in it, and I just love her movies. The 2000s are just so good, and they are comfort movies,” she said. Being a senior, Sanka wants to go to Emory University in Atlanta or the University of Florida. She wants to study law or journalism “It [Emory University] is beautiful, it has nature, and cool extracurriculars. I want to go into law or journalism; something in the English and communications field. They have cool political science programs which I want to go into,” Sanka said. (Profile by Allison Bartlett)

Garrett Senzon is a junior at Robinson and sports editor entering his second year in the newspaper staff. This year, Garrett is looking towards continuing his interest in combining writing with his love of sports. As the sports editor, Senzon already has goals and plans that he would like to push into his position in newspaper. “I really just want to get more coverage. I also want to get more sports articles that kind of cover professional aspects while still connecting back to the school, because I feel like that’s more interesting to read about,” Senzon said. Aside from newspaper, Senzon also plans on having an amazing junior year through extracurricular actives. These include speech and debate, which he’s congressional debate captain for. In his position, he writes and submit bills, which is different for every tournament. “One of the bills that we debated on was one to put caps on the price of medication. So, medication can’t be above a certain price.” Senzon said Other than extracurricular activities, he’s also involved with sports, like tennis, which he shows great love for as this is his third year on the team. “I really enjoy just being able to hit with other people on the team. It’s a really good experience and a very good environment,” Senzon said Outside of school, he enjoys giving back to the community, involving himself in projects to give back to the people in need. “I volunteer at the Faith Cafe, then sometimes I build beds for people who don’t have beds available,” Senzon said With passion and determination in his position, Senzon is crucial for knight writers this year, bringing new ideas and understandings in his role as sports editor.   (Profile by Jordan Lee)
