Hello! My name is Aminata Barry, but I go by Amina for short. I am a senior at Winthrop High School, and this is my fourth year with the Viking Times. I am so excited to be writing for another year, and I can’t wait to continue sharing my articles for the last time. Outside of the Viking Times, I am a member of the Winthrop Girls Varsity Basketball Team, Math Club, and Multicultural Club. I also volunteer at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Winthrop Public Library. I have an addiction to shopping at the mall and love traveling. I’ve visited France, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Jamaica, and Canada. Plus, I’ve been to more than 15 other states in the USA. I come from a very large African family, so I have family all around the world. One of my favorite things to do is write. Being part of this club has given me the opportunity to enhance my writing skills and write about topics that interest me. I promise this year to write and read as many articles as possible! :)
