The first time I saw James Bond was in Bluffton's Carma Theatre with a bunch of the boys…Kent Kinsinger, John Lehman, probably Max Eastman. Maybe Larry Eikenbary. We were, I believe, freshmen on bicycles.
Note: The Icon introduces a new, twice a month column by an Ada High School student. This is our new columnist's initial column.
My name is Amelia Alexander. I am 15 years old. I was born and raised here in Ada, where I attend school. I adore reading, writing, and learning. I write poetry for my own pleasure in my spare time.
When I’m not writing, I’m running, playing volleyball or tennis, or spending time with friends and family. I’m a member of book club, Ada Mental Health Alliance, and language club, all of which I have joined through school.
Twin sisters Andrea and Alyson Hoffman, current sophomores attending Ohio Northern University, both suffer from cystic fibrosis (CF).
Andrea and Alyson make it a priority to take daily steps in order to live long and healthy lives. Their goal is to have CF no longer stand for cystic fibrosis but rather cure found.
On Nov. 5, at 8 p.m., Andrea and Alyson will be giving a presentation through Google Meet. The purpose of the presentation is to teach the importance of exercise as a treatment for CF.
