George Trampler is a senior at Becton Regional High School who is working toward a political journalist career and is expressing his interest through this year’s journalism class! In the past few years, Trampler has become keenly interested in politics, propelling him to want to pursue this as a career. His hometown is East Rutherford, where alongside watching, reading, and talking about politics, he also watches movies, plays video games, and listens to music in his free time. He says that his affinity for hip-hop and rock music was greatly influenced by the town he grew up in. Some of Trampler’s favorite music artists are Polo G, Lil Tjay, Led Zeppelin, and Nirvana. His favorite movie franchises are the “Rocky” movies and the “James Bond” movies, and his favorite video game is “Clash Royale”. As for extra-curriculars, Trampler plays Tennis and is a member of the Environmental Club. Trampler’s plan after high school is to attend Bergen Community College to earn his credits for general education courses, and transfer to either William Paterson University or Montclair State University to finish out his college career. Trampler loves to travel and would like to see one of his favorite countries one day, Finland– where he may even want to live. He enjoys multiple aspects of Finland such as the culture, the climate, free healthcare, and the exceptional education system.  Over the years, Trampler has discovered that he values, “my family, my friends, and myself.” We are looking forward to seeing Trampler’s personality and views shine through during his first year of journalism!
