Thijmen Post is an eighth grader currently enrolled at El Roble Intermediate School. He loves to read, and his favorite book is 1984 by George Orwell. Post believes it is a realistic portrayal of a dystopian society. He has also competed in the Junior Olympics in track and field three times and is an All-American. All his success has led him to believe that “searching for a light inside of you, can lead you to be yourself, and that if you do not, you will not be able to see the true world for the rest of your life.”
