What words would your teachers use to describe you?
Dedicated, talented, considerate
What is your favorite subject and why?
Since my first Spanish class in middle school, I’ve loved the language and each year of
Spanish classes. There’s just something amazing about being able to communicate with
people in an entirely different language; of course, learning more about a foreign culture
and its literature only makes the class even more fascinating!
Hobbies/Interests
Music, jogging, swimming, reading, foreign languages and cultures
