Elijah Nuebel, Student Editor
I’m Elijah Nuebel, a senior at Apopka High. I have been on The Blue and White for the last two years as a staff writer, and this year I am proud to be the student editor for the 2023-2024 school year. I was born to an American father, and a Dominican mother, and have lived in Apopka my whole life. I grew up with one sibling, my twin, Samuel. My upbringing has allowed me to have a wide variety of experiences, allowing me to be fair and moderate on most issues. Around school, I am most heavily involved in the newspaper and our lacrosse team, among other clubs and organizations. Outside of school, I am an avid sports fan, supporting our local professional teams and Florida State for collegiate athletics. I’m also into video games, cooking, chess, and music. This school year, I hope to make the most of my senior year, by having fun, graduating from both Valencia and Apopka, and getting into colleges that are a good fit. As editor, I aspire to do my part in continuing our shared goal of producing quality content for the newspaper. And always, remember to smile!
