How would you describe yourself? “Two adjectives that I would use to describe myself are helpful and energetic. Whether someone needs assistance with a small
homework assignment or needs a fresh set of eyes to look over an essay, I am always willing to lend a helping hand. I am also a very energetic person. Whether I’m in class, on the tennis court or just hanging out with my friends, I am always excited to tackle a new day with verve and enthusiasm. I think my teachers would say that I am engaged in class and an overall good classroom presence. I always come into the school day excited to learn. I like to participate in discussions, learn new material and spend the time getting to know my classmates and teachers better.”
a community that is welcoming, accepting and supportive. The community is one I’m proud to be a part of, and the school is a place that I’m excited to go to every day.”

What are your college plans? “The main thing that I am looking for in college is to find my passion. I am excited to try different classes that I haven’t yet been able to take in high school and, hopefully, find something that I am passionate about and can build a career around.”

Tip for succeeding in high school: “Work hard. It doesn’t have to come at the expense of other things, like extracurriculars or social events, but putting in the extra time to review material for a test or proofreading a paper one more time goes a long way towards success.”

Favorite extracurricular: “Tennis. I loved the sport for a long time, so when I started high school, I decided to go all in. I did multiple clinics a week, took private lessons and played in tournaments most weekends. I have loved playing tennis, and I have made great friends through all the time I have spent on the court.”

Given everything that’s going on right now, what role can teens take now? “I think that What did you like about during these unprecedented top row: St. Luke’s? “One of my favorite times, one of the most important things about my school is the things for teens to do is to follow community. The faculty and the national and state guidelines students have been able to foster on how to keep themselves and others safe. This includes wearing a mask, socially distancing and washing your hands, among other things. Even though we are not at the highest risk of getting seriously ill from coronavirus, our actions can still help to minimize the spread of the virus.”

Do you have a favorite subject? “My favorite subject is math, and it has been for as long as I can remember. Even in elementary school, I would get excited whenever we did “Mad Minutes”— worksheets where you had a minute to answer as many of the sixty problems on the page as you could. Now, as I’m traversing my way through more complicated topics in calculus, I still find that same excitement when I finally find an answer to a seemingly impossible problem or when I see an application of a previously confusing theorem.”
