First Post

Hi I am Jona Lee and I am a senior at RMHS. I love cats, though I unfortunately do not have one. I do have a chinchilla, his name is Joey and he is 3. I love the fall and can't wait for the leaves to chance colors. I like to kayak, swim, and ice skate. I am in the drama club, the GSA, CAARES, and a few others at the high school. I like Disney movies and medical TV shows, such as Grey's Anatomy. I am thinking of becoming a nurse in the future.
