Brook Wenande, Editor

Normally in the Chick- Fil-A drive thru or at the closest gas station, Brook still wonders where her money goes. She is very honest and not afraid to say what she really thinks, especially if she thinks you’re being annoying. Brook is also a super important part of the BSM girls dive team and loves waking up early for the before school practices. Some might say, Brook looks like she is very excited at school everyday and never looks tired. Another thing Brook is good at is procrastinating, especially her college classwork. She may look thrilled to be wherever she is supposed to be, but in reality, she would rather be in her bed on Tik Tok.
