Nati Duron, Videographer/reporter

Nati Duron, a senior at NC, is a videographer and reporter for The Chant, likes to write about saving dogs from Petland and make videos about conspiracies. Newspaper serves as her outlet for writing, and she feels so lucky to be a part of such a great class. As her final year of high school starts to unravel, she wishes to succeed academically and in Journalism.

Videography has always inspired Nati; the way stories come to life makes her want to videotape everything. Along with videos, Nati finds that writing is a passion. From poetry to journal entries, Nati feels everything felt, said, or imagined must be documented.

Music is very important to Nati. Each day she jams to her favorite artists Lana Del Rey and Paramore and even likes to relax and listen to Tchaikovsky. Seventies music, including Led Zeppelin and ABBA, though an odd contrast, appeal to Nati and she loves jamming to rock and “hippie” music.

Always next to Nati is her best friend Rachel. Both of them love journalism, and it is a dream that they pursue it in their careers. The two of them have made lifelong friendships in Newspaper, and they could not feel more blessed because of it.

Expect coverage on pop culture and conspiracies from Nati, and the ideas she will bring to The Chant will help her strive to be the best reporter she can be.

	At tonight’s football game, students, friends, and families will wear pink to show awareness for breast cancer. Because October serves as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Relay For Life sold pink shirts to students and teachers so they could show their support. “I am a big supporter of Relay For Life here at North Cobb. I’m proud of my association with it, my sister is a 15-year Stage 3 breast cancer survivor, so I celebrate the research that’s been done and I want to support it anyway I can. So wear pink, and let’s yell ‘Go warriors’,” AP Psychology teacher Melanie Shelnutt said.

	From yellow posters to gold T-shirts, students showed their support for Rally Club, an organization that raises awareness for childhood cancer. “Rally is a club that donates money to not only raise awareness for childhood cancer, but also to raise money for the research,” senior Brittany Aguilar said. In the past, the club gradually declined, until recently when senior Cierra Walsh brought it back to life. As a foundation, Rally hopes to promote awareness for childhood cancer through fundraisers and overall support of the community, and through their determination, members will keep the club alive and prospering.

Come support RALLY!

The new school year at NC brought significant changes, including a modernized school website. Instead of the ordinary site that students grew accustomed to, people scrolling on www.northcobbhigh.org will now see athletes and students showcased on a slide of pictures, categories of the classes, staff, and departments, and will find it easy to navigate on the site. “I love that our school changed the website to look more appealing and attractive to those who browse on there. I feel it will really show what ‘Warrior Nation’ is all about,” senior Anna Vickery said. Scroll through the new website today to see a more organized and fresh platform of NC.
