  High school is a time that is filled with memorable moments, new opportunities, and personal growth. Aaliyah Garcia, a sophomore at Bonneville High School, was interviewed about her experience at Bonneville High School.
  Garcia loves going to football games and assemblies. She commented, “They’re really nice and they get us out of class.” She enjoys seeing people playing games and participating in activities that Hope Squad or Student Council has planned. Garcia additionally loves the football season because she loves all the school spirit and energy. She looks forward to going to all the games she can with her friends next season. Her friends play a massive part in  her high school experience. She stated she loves her friends because they influence her to come to school everyday and get her to improve her grades so she can hang out with them more often. She also loves different spirit weeks too. She enjoys how she can go around with her friends and do all the different activities, like getting ice cream or getting fake tattoos.
  Beyond enjoying everyday high school life, one of her goals is to graduate with some college courses already finished. While she is currently unsure which career path to choose, Garcia is looking forward to exploring her options and choosing beneficial classes.  Despite that, one of her favorite classes is Reading for Enjoyment, she never has time for reading at home. She finds it relaxing to have a class where she can just focus on reading. 
Besides her favorite classes, Garcia also has had some teachers who have helped her along the way and prepared her for life after high school. One of her favorite teachers at Bonneville has been Mrs. Joyner. She commented that  Joyner was the first teacher that “actually helped [her] understand math,” by making fun little games or sayings to go with the equations. She additionally helped as a teacher’s aid for Joyner in 8th grade a couple of times and wants to do it again in highschool. A teacher’s aid is a student who helps teachers grade papers and just help the teachers in whatever they need. She loves how Joyner is so friendly and nice. 
  One of the hardest things for Garcia is when she procrastinates. Garcia is a hardworking student with good grades; however, like many other students, sometimes when she procrastinates, the work gets harder. Throughout the trimester,“even though [she] procrastinate[s] … [she] still [has] good grades.”
  Garcia has had an incredible high school experience so far and can not wait to have more amazing experiences and opportunities.
