I am Xavier Jankowski, and I am a Junior at Loudoun Valley. I work with the PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs, and I joined the staff this year.

I decided to join Broadcast Journalism because it seemed to be the most interesting class option after choosing to take a new elective after completing Latin IV. I have always loved listening to and talking about current events and sports with my friends, and I thought this class would give me the excellent opportunity to write about it and to better voice my opinions.

Outside of school, I play travel basketball and love to hang out with my friends. I am excited to write articles for The Viking for the rest of the year.
