    About the Contributor
    Melissa Sagaseta, Features editor, Photographer
    Melissa Sagaseta, a senior at North Cobb High, joined The Chant in her junior year and serves as a reporter and photographer. She was born in Uruguay and moved to the United States with her mom, dad and older brother in 2004. The first two years proved difficult as she struggled with learning a new language while attending a new school however the change did not affect her outgoing personality and quickly made friends. When asked to describe Melissa, Kimberly Rios, a close friend and classmate said, “Melissa is a funny, kind, friendly and hardworking person who can brighten anyone's day by simply being apart of it” Sagaseta joined The Chant with the intention of bettering her photography skills and meeting new people. As a result she met Autumn Boekeloo and Philip Wynne, both reporters for The Chant, and the trio have been inseparable ever since. Despite her friendly and outgoing personality, Melissa would still prefer to spend her weekends at home watching the Food Channel. Three years ago, healthy eating became a major part of Melissa’s life as she became dedicated to eating organically and started to attend Hot Yoga. Her love of photography also plays a significant role in her life as she aspires to continue her work as a photojournalist when she graduates, “I like to photograph nature and hope to work for a magazine like The National Geographic someday” Sagaseta said. Melissa will be the first of her immediate family to attend college and with the unwavering support from her family, plans on going to an instate four year college. As she completes her last year of high school, Melissa’s dedication for The Chant continues and looks forward to producing more quality content for the website.
