I don’t think I would change anything from my time at JFK. I feel like I’ve made the most out of it. I’ve been very involved throughout the past four years.
What sports have you been playing? Some accomplishments you would like to share?
I’ve participated in cheer and golf for the past four years. The accomplishment from cheer is that I was senior captain this year and we placed second at GMCs.
Who was your biggest supporter in high school?
I’d say my mom, she was always there for me. Whenever I needed help with something, or if I needed any guidance or wisdom.
Your most favorite class and teacher you like in the whole high school?
Ms. Perosi and her class. It was a very open and welcoming environment. We’re always very close knit with each other. She’s always been very supportive of us.
What do you think about the school community, any changes?
I feel like people should be more supportive of each other and more welcoming because some people can tend to be negative. So if we just support each other. I like how diverse the school is and how accepting we are of each other’s cultures.
How was your experience being a dance company manager?
It was a bit challenging learning how to work with other people. At the end it was worth it, seeing the outcome of the performance and how many people enjoyed it and how many people have joined dance changed throughout the past four years.
According to you, what were the performances you would like to highlight?
My dance, not to brag. It was the first time choreographing and dancing on my own. I feel it came out really well and the people in my dance really showed out.
