About the contributors
Abigail Kim, Staff Writer
Abigail Kim is a second year staff writer for The Mirror’s Opinion section. The power of a good book is a force Kim readily succumbs to. A delectable story fills her with the greatest joy, and inventing tales offers a luscious meal for her hungry brain. Abigail’s greatest wish as a returning journalist is to communicate the wonderful quirks of the world through her perspective and to share the divine opinions of every viewpoint. In the eccentric witch’s brew of her mind, she weaves characters, conflict, and emotions in fictional writing and dancing, or, as she likes to call it, storytelling with the body. Abigail’s greatest passion in life is to spread the love of Jesus Christ. On a separate note, if she’s not hunched over her computer, you can find her chomping away on dark chocolate or shrieking at the top of her lungs at a KPOP concert.
Viktoriya Khanliyan, Staff
I am a senior who is graduating in 2024. I am interested in majoring in either psychology or classic literature in College. I like to read books and watch different genres of movies in my spare time. I am currently taking AP Psych and AP Art History. Outside of school, I’m interested in learning about different mythologies and cultures.
Joel Nam, Opinion Editor
Joel Nam, a junior and second-year student in Journalism, continues his work as the Mirror’s Opinion section editor. Never able to resist the allure of a good story, his attention is captured for hours on end by webcomics, eBooks, movies and TV shows. Every Christmas, he marathons the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy alongside his brothers and dad. He believes the movie adaptations of Tolkien’s brilliance showcase the most impressive worldbuilding to be seen in the history of media, and will die on that hill. His fiery passion for both tennis and Pokémon was sparked at a young age and has only intensified as he grows older. After high school, he plans on attending a university on the east coast, and to travel to Greenland, Iceland and Sweden as an adult.
