Giara Nivar is ready to write and prepared to ask all the pressing questions for the FOCUS this year. Nivar is calm and collected as a keen observer of all that is around her. She would describe herself as a margarita pizza, one with diced bits of spice and flavor. From her favorite historical figures like JFK to her favorite artist Rauw Alejandro, she has one main thing that piques her interest: culture. She colors her articles with vivid words to express relevant cultural elements, at PMHS and beyond, just like how she does in her art pieces she has been recently creating. Along with art, she immerses herself in books, but it is not always for entertainment; the stories on the page make her think about how she can turn what is on the page into a betterment of her own writing. “When I read a good book… I always think of how I can write like this author,” Nivar said
