Home / Staff Profiles / Janel Quoc, The Hatchet Online
Meet the person who probably has the biggest plugs at Washington High School, is deathly afraid of spiders, and loves playing video games and watching games- Janel Quoc. She’s a half Mexican, half Vietnamese girl who looks forward to living in a small condo, driving a Mercedes, supporting three cats, and being able to make pastries all day when she grows up. Her dream career is to become either a chef or tattoo artist, choices which might have been affected by some of her favorite role models: her dad, her brother, Synyster Gates, Dan Smith, and Jason Myers. Janel loves going to shows with friends, but what makes her truly happy is body modification- which is evident by her plugs and throat piercing. When she’s not editing for Hatchet Online, she spends her time volunteering at a wildlife center and playing World of Warcraft. Lastly, Janel is somewhat of a hot chocolate connoisseur. She also loves eating bananas. A lot.

Religion has ruled human kind for ages, sculpting and dictating our cultures. Some view religion as a positive institution that equips our generations with morals. However, I disagree. To put things simply, religion kills. It doesn’t make people behave better for the sake of others... (more...)
