Hi! My name is Hunter Pitrak and I live in Roswell, Georgia. I go to Roswell High School. In the fall I will be a junior. I have two very annoying brothers named Trevor and Dylan, Trevor is 14 and Dylan is 11. We also have a dog named Dash, who has one eye (fun fact).
This past school year was my first time taking journalism, and I enjoyed it a lot. I enjoy writing news and sports articles. My teacher told us about this camp and I really liked the idea of it because ever since I moved to Atlanta I have become a big Georgia fan and found UGA as a school I really want to go to. I also wanted to do this camp to learn more about journalism and hope to become a better writer, as well as get to learn more about UGA as far as the campus and community.
I was originally born in Richmond Virginia, where I moved around a couple times when my brothers came along because the houses kept running out of room. When I was going into 3rd grade, my family moved to Tampa, Florida, where we lived for about four years. Then after that, we moved to Atlanta Georgia. I have to say, Georgia is probably my favorite place that I have lived. While I miss some of my best friends from Florida as well as Virginia, I am able to arrange plans to see them every once in a while. I think Atlanta is a great place to live and a great option for me and my family.
In my free time — whenever have some — I enjoy hanging out with my friends, as well as baking and going shopping.
I have tried just about every sport when I was younger, but softball has been something I have stuck with for a long time. I started playing when I was about 7, and I haven’t really stopped. My freshman and sophomore year of high school I played for my school, but this year I decided to try out flag football, which I am also having lots of fun with. I also do swim team for my high school in the winter, which I really enjoy.
I have done summer swim team ever since I lived in Virginia because my parents put me in it and I found out how much fun it was so I kept going back every summer. Now that I am 16, I was offered the opportunity to coach this summer, and that’s what I have been doing. It is so fun, and I really enjoy working with kids and teaching them to better their swimming skills. I also work at a Barbecue restaurant that my neighbor owns, which has become a great job for me. I love the people I work with, and I find working in restaurant teaches great life lessons.
UGA has been a top college choice for me ever since I moved here, and I hope to get in, but if not I know wherever I end up will hopefully work out for me!
