Hello! I’m Helen Burke. I’m a junior here at Pentucket. I take all Honors and AP courses, and a dual enrollment course with SNHU. I decided to take Journalism this semester so I can choose what I write, as opposed to book-related English papers. I like writing when I get to choose what I write about. I am involved with clubs here such as DECA. I placed in the top ten in Massachusetts last year under the category PBM (Principles of Business Management and Administration), and intend to do so again under the category ENT (Entrepreneurship). I currently work as a lifeguard at Cedarland Aquatic Center in Haverhill, MA. I also assist Tiny Tots’ dance classes in Georgetown, at BoSoma School of Dance. I am an active member of their dance company in Hamilton, BoSoma Youth Company. There, I dance ballet, contemporary, jazz, modern, tap, and other styles of dance. I also enjoy listening to music, and frequently do so in my free time. I like music by Niall Horan and Taylor Swift. I do enjoy their music the best because I like the intricacy of their lyrics. I look forward to taking this class and writing articles that relate closer to my interests, and I hope you enjoy my writing.
