She’s fun, lovable, and loves to be happy! Her name is Alyssa McAlinden, and she is a sophomore on the school newspaper staff, writing sports.  She enjoys attending sporting events and taking pictures.  She also likes food, music, numbers, getting good grades, smiling, laughing, and the company of happy people.  Her favorite feeling is butterflies in her stomach, and she loves adrenaline.  Alyssa is always up to get out of the house…if her mom gives her permission, is on the varsity girls golf team, and takes pleasure in participating actively in church.  Overall, she just loves having fun.
