Gabriel Balordi is a freshman at Everett High school. His heritage comes from his dad being from Colombia and mom being from the Philippine. Balordi joined the newspaper club with the goal of writing his own stories. He’s also a member of the chess club and hopes to focus on news reporting for the paper. Balordi’s favorite subject is math; the kind that, as he puts it, “makes him feel smart.” Outside of schoolwork, he’s a big fan of the Terminator franchise.
