FLIP Invites Lopez K12 Students to be the First Youth to Stand in the New Pool, Still Under Construction
On January 22, at 2:30, all available K12 students and staff will walk along School Road to Center, and follow the marked route to the pool. We will create a highly visible safety zone along the short stretch of Center. Student safety will be a priority, with clear routes, site preparation and a construction free zone while we visit. Students will stand together in the larger pool waving pool toys and look up for a whole school drone portrait. FLIP is excited for students and staff to see the pool progress and grow excited future swimmers!
What clubs/athletics/extracurriculars have you been involved in?
I was in French club in middle school and early high school. Right now, I’m in the journalism club and Spanish club.
What is one positive memory from your time here that you’ll carry with you forever?
Back in middle school, my friend group and I had a little tradition. Whenever one of us had a birthday, we’d get together in the art room during lunch and have a celebration with food and sometimes little gifts.
Finish this sentence: “I cannot live without…….”
Perfume! I have a whole collection of perfumes for each season. I never leave the house without it.
What is one piece of advice you have for incoming high school students?
It’s better to be a loner than to have fake friends.
What is one song that summarizes your graduation from high school?
This year I’ve been listening to same song whenever I get in my car…..Heart to Heart by Mac DeMarco. It’s kind of soothing and really nice.
Who/what do you find inspiring?
My dad because he taught us how to be hard workers at a young age, because he himself is a hard worker. He has always been so supportive and reassuring.
What is the most meaningful assignment ever given to you by a teacher?
In AP Lit last year, we read Klee Wyck by Emily Carr. In the book, she writes about totems. We had the opportunity to visit the Paul Allen estate as a class and see the totems there. It was great learning about a whole different culture and seeing these totems in real life.
What’s the most important quality in a friendship? Why?
I’d say honesty because you can’t be in a relationship with anybody unless you have truth and honesty. Without honesty, there is no trust, and without trust the relationship begins to fall.
In 10 years, I will be…
I want to be an ER nurse.
What are your plans after high school?
I’m hoping to go to UW next year. If I don’t get accepted there, I have another plan to get my RN at a community college and then apply to a four year university with a BSN program.
Is there anything else you want people to know about you?
I love cats!
