As the Head Editor of Features and Arts, senior Sanya Sadiq has contributed hard work and dedication to KO News. As many seniors in the spring look forward to graduation, we sadly must say our goodbyes to those who have been in the KO News family.
Sanya first joined KO News in the second semester of her sophomore year, but she shares that she wishes she could’ve started earlier. She also mentioned the positive encouragement from her sister, friends, and English teacher and Faculty Advisor Cathy Scheiffelin, after taking the journalism class.
The article she is most proud of is her piece on senior year stress, as she felt it was especially real and relatable to students. Through her writing, she aimed to connect with others and reflect shared experiences within the school community.
What she will miss most about KO News is the community it creates. She values the opportunity to work with peers she might not normally interact with and appreciates the connections she built with both underclassmen and classmates.
As she prepares for this next chapter, she leaves advice for future staff members: “Block your time effectively and put everything into every article you’re writing,” she said, while also adding that it’s important to have fun. After graduation, Sanya plans to attend the University of Richmond, where she will major in business management. We wish her the best of luck on the new journey she will soon take and miss her deeply.
