The Hawkeye

Max Tracy, Hawkeye staff

I’m Max Tracy and I’m also in the 11th grade. My position here is as a hawkeye staff reporter, and I cover all things drama as I am in charge of the drama beat.

This is my first year as a part of the Hawkeye so I don’t have much journalistic experience, but I’m learning fast.

I really only have two colleges I’m currently aiming for, the big one is UW and the second less likely but still possible one is the University of Minnesota twin cities.

My career goal is to be an engineer of some type, but also being a sleep researcher is high on my list of wanted careers.

I’m also slightly obsessed with the musical artists “Childish Gambino” and “Frank Ocean.”

Besides that my personal hobbies would be imitating accents to a seemingly ridiculous extent and playing video games.
