About the Contributor

Janelly Gomez, Journalist

My name is Janelly Gómez and I was born in Brooklyn, New York. A month ago I turned 15 years old, it felt like I was 14 for a long time. I'm a sophomore and I attend HSTAT. I’ve always had a 50/50 relationship with school but I always try. Three words I think can describe me are inclusive, chill, and easy. I like to distract myself by going out and hanging out with friends. I express myself with art and makeup. I like to be with my family and stay home sometimes because I love my bed and sleeping. My parents are from Ecuador and Honduras. I’ve been to Ecuador twice and I got to visit family and where I'm from. I wish one day to visit Honduras and learn more since I don't know much about that side of my family.
