As she enters her second year of high school, Lana Weber aims to be a dedicated member of the Falconer and make her first year on the school newspaper one to remember. She looks forward to meeting new students from all over the world, forming new friendships and creating stories she is proud of sharing. Weber looks forward to working on a team of talented writers, collaborating with her peers and getting to know every friendly face on the team. In her free time, Weber enjoys reading fantasy books filled with whimsical worlds by the fire and spending time with her close-knit family, whether it’s cuddling up on the cozy living room couch to watch a movie or playing heated board games like Bananagrams. When not at home, Weber can often be found at the barn, laughing with her teammates while atop her horse. Weber also loves cuddling with her dog, Ziggy, and her cat, Bowie at night. She strives to be a veterinarian one day, and hopes to spend her days surrounded by furry friends. She has always loved animals and hopes that she can make a positive impact on their lives, ensuring their futures are full of health, happiness and love. Although she can seem reserved to some, Weber loves to have fun with her friends, both inside and outside school. As she embarks on her journey on the Falconer, Weber is beyond excited to see what the future will bring and what lies just beyond the horizon.
