12th grader at BCTEA & Trinity High

Getting to meet so many new
people!

Completing my 4,000-word
extended essay for the IB
program. It was a great feeling to
accomplish that project.

They help to inspire the next
generation.

Teachers have a big responsibility
to engage students every day, and
make us want to truly listen and pay
attention to every word they say.

I like math because there is always
a certain and specific answer.

I really enjoy biology and the
things I am learning will benefit my
career in a major way.

I want to become an EMT so I
can help people.

Spend time with my family and
hopefully enjoy some colder
weather!

(Editor’s note: This interview took place
on quite a warm day in late October.)

After my experience in clinical
rotation, I decided I want to
become a pediatric surgeon. I
got to see and experience a lot
of amazing things.
I will be attending an
engagement party for my cousin
in Canada, and then we will have
family coming down to visit from
California.
