Laryssa Mikesell

Laryssa Rose Mikesell is a 15-year-old 10th grader at Lake City High School. If she could travel back in time to any decade, it would definitely have to be the 80’s because she says, (quote)  “To see what life was like not having the things we do now.” Her biggest, most terrifying fear would have to be pincher bugs. I mean, a bug with that name? You can’t blame her. Mikesell is full of happiness, and she wants to be the person who leaves behind a trail of laughter and adventures. Laryssa’s favorite food that seems childish now are push-up Popsicles. Especially the Scooby-Doo ones. Probably because he happens to be her favorite cartoon character. But, just because she is very outgoing and happy, doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a deep side to her. She loves to write, A LOT, because it’s one of her favorite things to do. If someone was to sum up Laryssa’s spunky personality, they would probably say that she would be the best friend to have around.
