Bethany Shook, Staff Writer
Bethany Shook is a 16-year-old sophomore who is currently in their first semester of journalism. Shook was born in Hickory, North Carolina but later moved to Supply, North Carolina.
“I enjoy taking dance classes,” said Shook. “I do arts and crafts with my friend sometimes and I sing a little bit too. I used to like painting and stuff whenever I was like seven. I never really tried but I’ve been trying harder since I got into middle school.”
Shook has been interested in the arts since she was a young child, taking part in many extracurriculars throughout her childhood that have slowly built up her creative spirit.
Shook joined journalism because she enjoys writing and photography and knew that journalism had both of those things.
Shook’s future plan is to attend Brunswick Community College for two years, graduate, and then transfer to University of North Carolina Pembroke to get a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. Afterwards, Shook plans to return to teach middle school math in Brunswick County. She would like to come back to Brunswick County because her family lives down here and she loves the beach.
“I like going to the beach a lot,” said Shook. “I’m either at the beach or at my house just sleeping.”
