My name is Kaitlyn Urbanowicz. I am a sophomore and a writer for the School News section. When I’m not writing for the Glenbard South Independent I participate in theater, speech, announcements, student council, and many other activities. In my free time I enjoy reading, listening to music, and hanging out with my friends.
