Hi! My name is Marie Bourke. I am a senior, and I have been on the North Pointe staff for four years. I am currently a web content editor. I enjoy running and swimming in my spare time. I was a captain on the cross country team in the fall, and I am a captain on the synchronized swimming team in the winter. My dog Chica is basically my best friend; she’s a Wheaten Terrier and is 14 years old. Summer is definitely my favorite season because I love hot weather, and during summer I lifeguard at the Woods park. Next year, I am either going to go to Michigan State or Grand Valley, and I’m planning to major in physical therapy. That’s enough about me -- hope you enjoy our paper!
