What do you like to do when not in<br />
school or studying?<br />
I like to watch my sisters play<br />
softball. I get to spend time with my<br />
family and spend time outside; it is<br />
the best of both worlds! I also like to<br />
go out to eat with my family. My favorite<br />
places to go to are P.F. Changs<br />
and Legends.<br />

What are some of your most played<br />
songs on your iPod?<br />
I am a big country fan. I listen to a<br />
lot of country and pop music. One of<br />
my all-time favorite songs is “Closer”<br />
by The Chainsmokers. I also like<br />
“The Middle” by Grey, Maren Morris,<br />
and Zedd.<br />
What is one thing people don’t know<br />
about you?<br />
I am usually very quiet, but I can<br />
be nice and loud when people least<br />
expect it.<br />
Who is your favorite teacher and<br />
why?<br />
Mrs. Gorniak is my favorite teacher.<br />
She helps me with English, math,<br />
science, and social studies. I am really<br />
going to miss her next year.<br />
What’s your favorite class and why?<br />
Adaptive PE is my favorite class.<br />
I get to see and hangout with all of<br />
my friends.<br />
What extracurricular(s) do you wish<br />
your school had?<br />
We have lots of extracurricular,<br />
there isn’t one I wish our school had<br />
that they don’t already have. I am involved<br />
in Best Buddies and Intramural<br />
Bowling.<br />

“It’s amazing to see her<br />
speak like that,” Chris said.<br />
“Special Olympics has given<br />
her that voice. Five years<br />
ago, she wouldn’t have had<br />
that voice, but it has given<br />
her that confidence. As a<br />
parent, you couldn’t ask for<br />
anything better.”
