| ON THE RISE STUDENT SPOTLIGHT Genevieve Dandurand PHOTOGRAPHY BY LANDEN WILLIAMS With multiple awards and accolades to her name, this San Luis Obispo High School senior is ready for the next leg in her journey towards a successful future. What recognition have you received? I’ve been acknowledged as an AP Scholar With Distinction; College Board National Hispanic Recognition Program Winner; Rotary Youth Leadership Award; 1st in Art and 3rd in History at California Junior Classical League Convention; 2nd Place Team at AP Statistics Math Competition; and my writing is published in American Library of Poetry’s Annual Anthology “Accomplished.” What extra-curricular activities are you involved in? Throughout high school, I have been involved in the SLO County United Way Youth Board (Director at Large); SLO Noor Foundation (Volunteer); Speech & Debate Team (Vice President); Model United Nations; Harvard Model Congress; Latin Club (Associated Student Body Commissioner); Interact Club; National Honors Society; Young Democrats Club; Astronomy Club; Ceramics Club; Cross Country Team; Track & Field Team; Water Polo Team & Club; and Stanford Medicine Clinical Summer Internship Admit. What do you enjoy outside of school? For fun, I enjoy making ceramics that I sell at Harmony Glassworks and online at Etsy.com. I also love walking/hiking, reading, listening to music, and yoga. What experience has influenced you the most? The summers after my freshman and sophomore year, I took classes on scholarship at Harvard, Stanford, and Brown University and having to go alone in such different environments really helped me blossom into the person I am today. I don’t believe I was ever shy, but these experiences made me very outgoing and independent. Do you have a career path in mind? I intend to become a Doctor, but from a PhD or Medical Degree, I am not sure. I plan to study either English, Bioengineering, or Human Biology, as I aim to become a professor or doctor to help others, while maintaining my own happiness. If you could go back in history and meet anyone, who would it be? “It isn’t what we say or think that defines us, but what we do.” These cathartic words, uttered by Jane Austen, appear on a sticky note adhered to my mirror, amplifying, “DO SOMETHING!” To be witness to the life of such a pioneer female authorship, would surely be my wish. Where did you decide to attend college? One of the happiest moments of my life was getting into Stanford University. I had been wanting to go since I was a freshman and it finally felt like all my hard work had paid off. When I opened the decision letter at almost midnight, I was overcome with joy and was so energetic and for some reason the song “Here’s to Never Growing Up” by Avril Lavigne kept going through my head so I went on a drive and with the windows down in SLO was belting out the lyrics to some cathartic songs.
