Joyful Junior Aliya Koshalieva recently learned that the ocean is not full of sand. As a proud ex- gifted and talented student, she’s confident she’ll learn how to factor one day. Finally free from the shackles of the Graphics team, Koshalieva is excited for her first ever page. With a passion for National and World News, this jaunty junior will certainly bring her own to the Nat/World team. Hopefully, she’ll also power through drivers ed and finally get her permit. When she’s not at Starbucks gossiping with middle schoolers, you can find her fulfilling her job as a passenger seat princess.
