A Living Strongsville Treasure


Have you ever been walking through the halls and wondered “Who is that kid casually dancing and stomping through the halls growling at people?” Well, if you have the answer to your question is Vinnie Rongone. Vinnie, a freshman this year, has quickly gained much attention from the students in the 5A lunch period. Whether he’s carrying an apple back to his table in his mouth or calling students “schnooks”, Vinnie seems very comfortable with the fact that he’s not exactly like everyone else. Vinnie’s favorite class is biology and he enjoys sitting alone because no one will bother him. He also enjoys video games. Vinnie dressed as Donkey Kong for Halloween this year. He spent the day charging students, pounding his chest, and doing other things Donkey Kong would probably do. Sometimes, Vinnie paces through the lunch room, from table to table listening and watching as students interact but for the most part doesn’t join in. I think the students of SHS could learn a lot from Vinnie. To stop being so a like and learn to be different in their own ways.
