Elyssa Abbott, junior in the Magnet program at North Cobb, joined newspaper to pursue her dream profession of being a journalist. Youngest of 3, Abbott enjoys spending her free time watching movies, listening to music, and hanging out with her best friends. Traveling is a continuing aspiration for her future. She has already crossed some of her dream destinations off her bucket list. With the Magnet Program, Abbott has already traveled to Costa Rica, Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji. She plans on visiting several countries in Europe the summer after her junior year. 

Abbott’s interests include shopping, trying new coffee shops, and journaling. Eno-ing and hiking are two of her favorite activities. She hopes of going to school in a busy city and starting a non-profit to support schools in countries that are less fortunate. On the weekends she volunteers with children at Northstar Church. After high school, Abbott hopes to pursue journalism, non-profits, traveling, and mission trips, as those are the things she is most passionate about.
