SENIOR SPOTLIGHT
Arianna M.
Years Attending BSO: 11
Favorite Food: Gluten Free Pizza
Favorite Color: Black and white
Pets: I have two dogs. One is named Capone and he is a big loving pitbull. The other is named Chuck, he's a tiny, mean pug.
Hobbies: I enjoy dancing, painting, makeup, going to concerts, listening to music and watching crime shows.
Favorite Season: My favorite season is winter. I was born in January so I immediately was introduced to the cold weather. I love it because it's peaceful, snow is pretty, and I like to wear warm sweaters.
Favorite Place: My favorite place I've ever traveled to has been Seattle. I plan to move there for grad school.
Bucket List: Becoming the best version of me, and not letting others determine my happiness.
What I will remember most about my senior year of high school: I will remember not having a graduation or senior prom. I had plans for both but now we're living in a major historical time and they won't happen. What comes in close second will be the feeling I got when I found out I was admitted to the University of Denver, which was my reach school.
Favorite book, author, movie, musician, etc.: I'm not a reader by any means, I can't focus. However, I love Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins and The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.
Favorite Sport: My favorite sport to play/do is dance or soccer. My favorite sport to watch would either be basketball or volleyball. I can't choose.
Accomplishment I am most proud of: I'm proud of a lot of things I've done. I've won multiple top 10 awards for solo and group dances, I've taught dance for two years, I've almost finished high school, I got into every college I applied to. Perhaps I'm most proud of how far I've come, I'm living the part of my life I always dreamed about living. Only now it's my reality, which I'm proud of getting this far.
Final Thoughts: Everybody on social media is making fun of the class of 2020's situation. I know that it's gotten me down, so if any of my fellow classmates are down as well, I want you to know; we're all in this together. We're all heartbroken, disappointed and uncertain about our futures, which is okay. We are the class that lived through a major historical event, perhaps some of us twice with 9/11. We will be okay and our accomplishments to this day are still valid, ceremonies or not.
