Nikki Praus, Opinions Editor
Hi! I’m Nikki Praus and I’m a junior working with The Spartan Speaks as an opinions editor. This is my first year working with the newspaper but I’ve really tried to be as involved with Spartan Speaks as I can. I love taking pictures at games and what not in addition to writing the articles. I think journalism is a great way to become more involved in your school and to grow in your writing. I’ve learned how important it is to be an informed student and I think being involved with journalism has helped me be more aware of the world around me. I love journalism and yearbook classes but I also enjoy all the clubs Orono offers. I’m in Poetry Club, Rubik's Cube Club, Ping Pong Club, and I also play lacrosse. Trying new things is important to me and going on mission trips during the past couple summers holds some of my best memories. When I can’t be that adventurous I also work part time at Ben and Jerry’s scooping ice cream in good ol downtown Wayzata.
