Alex Shock is a senior entering his first year in Eagle Eye Newspaper. This year, he is going to be active in multiple different clubs and groups. These groups consist of Youth Action Network (YAN), Golden Revolution, and the Ski Club in the winter season. All of the said clubs will surely look great on his resume when he applies for PennWest Clarion University, hoping to achieve a Master's degree in Psychology. Alex enjoys watching and playing basketball in his free time, as well as hanging out with friends and family. A fun fact about Alex is that he was born and spent the majority of his childhood in none other than Bellwood, Tyrone's biggest rival!
