Maris Kanoy is a junior at Green Hope High School and this is her first year writing for the GH Falcon. She was inspired to join when she took a creative writing class her sophomore year, sparking her interest in writing. In her free time, she enjoys reading books, baking muffins and biking with her friends because she finds them relaxing. She has creativity, optimism and innovation and greatly values honesty and lightheartedness in others and herself. After graduating, Maris plans to go to college in North Carolina, travel the world and hopes to later have a job that would help others. She is looking forward to having a great semester writing for the GH Falcon. 

Hannah Kim is a freshman at Green Hope and is in her first year of writing for the GH Falcon.

This year, she hopes that this class will make her new passion for writing grow even more. Aside from exploring her new interest in writing, Hannah has spent the past year becoming gifted with the viola, playing every day in her free time. Outside of school and practicing her instrument, you can find Hannah enjoying volleyball, tennis and swimming with her friends.
