Meet Our Staff


By Elizabeth Rueda


One of the most unusual things about Adrienne Wilson is her love for a “man’s sport”. Most people couldn’t guess that she would be into a hobby like hunting. “I like fishing because I grew up with it, Adrienne explains. “ My grandpa does it, his grandpa did it; It’s just been in the family forever.”


Wilson also has a big appetite and enjoys eating at buffets like Izzy’s. “How can you go wrong with an all you can eat buffet?,” she says. Some of her favorites include bagels, pasta, crab, and Mac and Cheese, because it’s the type of food that her family eats. “We go crabbing a lot, so I love seafood she explains. “Me and my dad went to this seafood restaurant once at Spirit Mountain Casino, and me and my dad spent about two hours there just eating.”


A girl of many interests, Adrienne loves to spend time with her family and friends. Whether she’s hanging out with her two best friends Shiree Hessel and Taylor Unger, goofing off, attending her sister’s basketball tournament, or eating out at restaurants like Happy Jing with her family in Silverton, she’s always up to something; except on Sundays of course.


On Sundays, Adrienne prefers to take the day off to relax, and catch up on her reading. Adrienne especially loves romance novels and historical fiction books like Cold Mountain, and anything by Nicholas Sparks because they keep my attention, and his stories never get boring.


However, Adrienne hates school.


“There is nothing worse than getting up early and spending all day at school, then coming home to do three hours of homework,” Adrienne remarks. Adrienne tries to stay positive about it though and claims that the one good thing about homework, is that she can watch a movie while doing it. Some of her favorite movies include “The Notebook,” “Cold Mountain,” “Titanic,” “Remember Me,” “The Patriot” and “The Longest Yard.”


Adrienne Wilson is your typical teenager, with a few exceptions.
