Melissa Krainer, Reporter
Hello! My name is Melissa Krainer, and I’m a staff member of Livewire. Writing has always been one of my greatest passions, and I am very excited to be part of the news-reporting team this year! I spend a lot of my free time crocheting, reading and working on math puzzles. I’m a member of MATHCOUNTS and am a Chamber Orchestra violinist. I have participated in IMLEM, Odyssey of the Mind and Kangaroo in the past. Additionally, I speak both German and English fluently. This is one of my favorite quotes: “Be the change you want to see in the world.” – Mahatma Gandhi
![Tradition. Salih poses for a photo. She explained that her ancestors had a certain thing that they would do during Ramadan to wake people up during the night. Salih said, "They had drums and they would beat it to wake up people because we usually… eat before we can fast so that we have a little bit of energy... [and so that] we’re not as hungry."](https://aajhslivewire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/IMG_1159-900x745.jpg)
