Alyssa LaBine,
Providence Catholic
senior
What do you like to do
when you are not in school
or studying?
When I am not in school
or studying, I participate in
Providence’s Theatre Club,
spend time with friends and
participate in Palos Community
Church’s youth
group.
What is your dream job?
I think I would enjoy being
some type of surgeon or
orthopedic doctor.
Where are you attending
college or where do you
hope to attend?
I know that I want to study
biomedical engineering, but
I am not sure where I want
to go to college yet.
What is one thing people do
not know about you?
One thing that people may
not know about me is that I
am one of two members of
Providence’s swim team.
Whom do you look up to and
why?
I look up to my aunt. This
is because she was able to
raise four kids while pursuing
a career as an anesthesiologist.
She also has a strong
and amazing faith.
What is your favorite class
and why?
My favorite classes are
physics and choir. I love
going to choir and being in
class with my sister and all
of my friends. I really like
physics because I like the
Photo submitteD
way that the class is structured
and that we mostly do
hands-on learning.
What extracurricular
activities do you wish your
school had?
I wish Providence had a
badminton team.
If you could change one thing
about your school what
would it be?
I would change that there
are more class periods.
What is your favorite
Cafeteria item?
My favorite cafeteria item
is the orange chicken.
What has been your best
memory from school?
One of my best memories
is being a part of the cast of
“The Addams Family” with
my younger sister. This was
her first show, and it was
amazing to be able to make
memories with her in Provi
Theatre.
