Molly Bobik, Staff

    My name is Molly Bobik. I am a Sophomore and a first year journalist. I have been an avid swimmer and softball player since the age of seven, and have participated on both the varsity swim and junior varsity softball teams. Along with my athletic career, I am a committed student. I strive for perfection even though I may never obtain it. Writing is one of my greatest passions along with traveling. Both allow me to leave my boring,everyday life and enter into a fascinating, new world. Being apart of the Greater Latrobe High Post, I feel I now have the ability to convey my experience of that new and exciting world with my peers. I live to share the stories of society and  those living in it.
