Welcome humans

The first featured student for “Humans of CHS” is freshman Leo Hickey.

Q:  So you actually became “Insta-famous” for a day when you reached out on the Falcon Press Instagram.  Tell us what your IG name means, @leo.hxckey. What’s your message and how would handle everyday Insta-fame?

A:  “I wanted to make some new friends, really.  But I’d probably use my Insta-famousness for good. I would try and maybe spread good messages to people. I wanted to make more friends at school because it’s my first year here.

My last name’s Hickey. I moved to Virginia Beach when I was in fourth grade, and during my fourth and fifth grade year, I was bullied pretty badly because of it. It really hurt my self-confidence. But, then in middle school, it started to become better and I just cared about it less. Now in high school, it really doesn’t matter to me and nobody really bullies me because of it. If anyone’s talking about it, I just make it a joke.  Just don’t let anybody bring you down. It won’t affect you badly. And the people that do it are immature.

Just do you.”
