LIVET PĂ… HANKEN
INK- One Last Time Text och bild: Janina Korhonen
I am writing this text with somewhat mixed feelings. This will probably be the last article I will write for Hankeiten as a student. During my years in INK I have written about for example my exchange, the NESU seminar week, about being active at the student union, about the executive board, about being in the student council, going to slush and now a last article as a goodbye telling about my time at SHS.

The student council was also one of the best decisions I made during my time in SHS because that’s the best place if you want to make an impact in the student union. If there is something I would do again I would have applied earlier to the student council and I warmly recommend anyone who is even a slightly bit interested in making a change or if you just want to know more about our
