About the Contributors
Isaac Binder, Staff Reporter
Isaac Binder is a senior at Norwalk and is taking journalism for the first time this semester. He participates in football and rugby for the school and enjoys hanging out with his friends in his spare time. Isaac decided to take journalism this year because he viewed it as a potential career path after high school and college, and had a previous interest in journalism. He was unaware Norwalk offered journalism before this year. After high school, Isaac plans to take a year off to complete general education through DMACC before attending a four year college in-state.
