th
questions
When you look back
on this school year,
what are you most
proud of?
Succeeding in the IB program. It was a lot
of hard work and I couldn’t have done it
without the motivation and support of my
principals, teachers, friends, and family.
I really enjoy soccer because of the
challenge of keeping control of the ball.
I also really like connecting with my
teammates. Not many people know that I have a
passion for make-up. I want to get a
degree in Biochemistry and have a career
working in product development for
cosmetics.
How the economy is currently running
and what it means to be a company. Protecting the environment and also
kindness in general. Kindness doesn’t
cost anything and I believe everyone is
deserving of it.
Is there an
educator who
has made a major
impact in your life? My fourth grade math teacher Ms.
Meggison helped me learn how to do
long division and multiplying two digits by
two digits thus enabling me to work more
efficiently. In Mr. Balthrop’s Theory of Knowledge class
I learned a lot about viewing and respecting
different cultural perspectives. Mr. Casanova
also majorly impacted my perspective of the
world. He is passionate about not only teaching
but also the well-being of his students.
What are your
plans for the
summer? First, I am going to beg my parents for
an investment fund for my company! I
will also spend time working on my fiction
novel about civil war. I am getting my first job! I have applied to
Ulta which is a cosmetics company, and
also the Bedford Boy’s Ranch because I
really love working with children.
Do you have a hidden
talent? If not, what
hidden talent would
you like to have?
If you could
change anything
in the world,
what would you
change?

In math class I started a company that I
am hoping to morph into a real company. I
learned how to analyze stock market relations
and trends using the graphs and scatterplots I
learned about in Ms. Noble’s class.
