Caroline Deacon, Sion Student Media Editor in Chief

This is Caroline’s second year on LeJournal and she is this year’s Editor-In-Chief. There’s almost nothing she loves more than watching movies and one of her all time favorites is  It’s A Wonderful Life. Outside of LeJournal, she has participated in track and field and stage crew throughout her time at Sion. She loves exploring music genres and is always looking for new book recommendations. She can never say no to a plate of sushi or a hot bowl of noodles and loves learning to cook new cuisines. Her family, especially her three brothers, are an incredibly important part of her life. She loves supporting her friends and can’t wait to see everything they continue to achieve. After high school, she is looking forward to attending college and is interested in pursuing juvenile law. Additionally, she looks forward to continue growing her love for the arts as she gets older, through fashion, photography, and film. She is so excited for her last year on staff!
