Sally Pearson
Q:What kind of activities are you involved in?
A:I’m involved in the speech team, theater, varsity tennis, choir, and am on the leadership board of Middle Eastern Interactions.
Q:
How do you balance all these activities?
A:
Well I think extracurriculars really prepare me for the real world where there are no excuses and I find that I actually end up focusing more when I get home later because I know that I have to get work done. I definitely do have to sacrifice some time with my friends for schoolwork, but I also get to make new friends and spend time with them through all these activities I do.
Q:
What part of high school have you enjoyed the most?
A:
I’ve really enjoyed the independence in getting to decide what I want to be involved in and finding out where I want to put my time into after high school.
Q:
If you could tell your freshman self one thing what would it be?
A:
I would tell myself that quitting is not necessarily a sign of failure–sometimes it’s necessary to make difficult choices between different activities and commitments in order to preserve a healthy lifestyle.
Favorite Class: Choir
