What's next for you?
I am going to Providence College next year to study biology.

What aspect of college are you most looking forward to? What aspect makes you anxious?

I am looking forward most to finding a place in a collegiate community shaped by the Dominican identity, and making some more good friends. I am anxious about trying to stay afloat in spite of a great deal of work and a high level of thinking. I must admit that I am also cautiously looking forward to this, as well.

What do you hope to be doing in 10 years?
In ten years, I hope to be living in East Providence, and preparing to have family. Working as a biologist or a biology teacher wouldn't be bad either.

What words do you live by?
Carpe Puellas - Goramus

If I weren't so busy I would:
get a little bit more sleep.

What is your most vivid high school memory?
What I recal is one of my favorite classes: Adaptive (Partner's) Physical Education, followed closely by cross-country and cramming for AP Biology.

What will you miss most about your high school days?
Miss about high school - Knowing most kids and teachers at school, and the sense of community - the Townie Pride - that only a high school provides.

What would people be surprised to learn about you?
That I am a big Lemony Snicket fan

How concerned are you about the environment?
Not really concerned at all.

What worries you most about the environment?
Global warming

If you could write a letter to your ninth grade self, what advice would you give?
The best advice I could give my ninth-grade self would be to be grateful for each day, because time moves far too quickly; that is, to savor these final fleeting years of childhood.
