Sophomore Marissa Struhar reads comic books for fun. “I wanted to try something new” she states,
Struhar started reading these comic books to pass time but also entertain herself.
Not a lot of people read comic books now a days, so this is something that is more unique than other
hobbies. Struhar stated that she is more of a visual learner and that regular books are harder for her to
read so comic books are easier for her to understand.
“I love action and drama” she stated, Struhar was already interested in the topic of superhero’s, video
games, and hero movies so it was decided that she would start reading comic books for fun.
Everyone has their own interests and things that make them happy, what makes you happy? Is it

Junior Owen Hoy rides dirt bikes in his free time and he enjoys it very much because when he is riding
that is all he focuses on and he can let go of stress.

same time he can also “hang out with the boys.”

for fun but every once in a while, he does race competitively.
