“So live. Live. Fight like hell. And when you get too tired to fight, lay down and rest and let somebody else fight for you.” -Stuart Scott

Hey there! (:

My name is Angelina Tran, but most call me Angel.  I am The Advocate’s Editor-in-Chief.

Prior Experience

I’ve taken a 5 credit Journalism class at Park Middle School, where I was the editor of the school yearbook 2014-2015.  First semester of my freshman year, I took Photojournalism class, which is what led me to The Advocate.  So far this year, I’ve worked at over 25 major events, 16 of which that were sporting events, 2 concerts, and many others.  This is my third year of Advocate.

Future Goals and Aspects

A major goal for my life is to finish school with bachelors, masters, and doctorate degrees.  I am a part of the Upward Bound program, a college preparatory program based at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  I plan on majoring in Business Management and dual-minoring in Marketing and Retail Merchandising at DePaul University in Chicago.

Personal Life

I am a varsity sprinter for the LHS Track and Field team, as well as a varsity letterman.  I am a two-time state qualifier in the 100M, 200M, and 4x100M Relay.  I am also a sponsored indoor track sprinter as well as a competitive powerlifter.  My main goal is to return to the Nebraska State Track and Field Championship next May 2018.

Another activity I am involved in is DECA, which stands for Distributive Education Clubs of America.  As a part of DECA, I help with community service projects and events, fundraising, and I compete at the district, state, and national level.  Currently, I am Co-Presidents with my other half, Jayla Toliver.

As the student representative for LHS, I am a co-chair on the district High-School Task Force, a committee that is planning the next two high schools being built in the city of Lincoln.  I am the committee co-chair of Student Diversity and Community.
