Hi readers, my name is Grace Hanrahan and I am a new writer for Torch this year. I am a sophomore at Kennedy and I enjoy being involved in language arts activities and music. Show choir has been a part of my life since 6^th grade, and I’ve been singing in general since 2^nd grade. Last year, I joined the swim team here at Kennedy as a freshman and earned my varsity letter. This year I’m in the prep show choir group, Protégé, and I will continue swimming. I have two parents that are educators, a sister and step brother, and a dog who I love to spend time with. I’ve traveled with my family many times, some of my favorite places being, New York City, Spain, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. I consider myself a good student and enjoy spending time at Kennedy, and look forward to writing at school anytime I can.
