Jefferson students excel in fine arts Jefferson Area High School with ANGEL FANTOZZI & KYLIE MILLER Star BeaconAnd Ratchko’s Honors English teacher is thrilled. “Whenever a student shows interest in writing, I probably offer more support than they want,” said Karen Klein. “I have a feeling we have a lot more writers in our school who aren’t sharing their talent with us.”
Though she gets positive feedback, Ratchko doesn’t plan on making a career of her story writing. “I don’t want to have a deadline because my writing might not be as good. I like to do it as a hobby,” she said. While she is working on a piece, Ratchko said she feels as if she is in her own little world, and when the story is done, she creates a title. “I write the story and then I pick out major points and try to come up with a good title.” Wrapping up a project can sometimes be as difficult as starting, she said. Though Ratchko is a new student at Jefferson, she is winning the hearts of those around her. “Sonja is a fine writer. I have read some of her writings, and I didn’t want to stop. They are so good. She writes with ease and really enjoys it. She herself is a great person and I love her,” said Nicole Gau, junior. Guidance counselor Lisa Newhart feels Ratchko is a positive addition to JAHS. “From what I know of Sonja, she is a very sweet girl. She takes pride in her academics and presents herself very well,” she said.
