Hi, my name is Aaddya, and I'm in the graduating class of 2015. I’m so stoked to be out of middle school, and moving on to high school. Although Foothill wasn’t my first choice, I've learned that its a pretty good school.

For my academic goals, I want to achieve at least a 4.0 all four years. I would also like to become a better writer, and improve my math skills. After high school, I want to continue my education in law, and hopefully go to Stanford, or even Oxford. I had so many friends in middle school, but high school caused us all to drift. Now, I’m friends with people that I would never have imagined to be friends with in middle school. Christine was my friend in elementary school, but we never talked through middle school, but now she and I have reunited. It's great to make new friends and socialize with other people, but I definitely miss talking to people I know so well. Having friends is very important to me, and if it means I have to step up and hang out with new people, so be it.

My family is a big part of my life, considering we spend so much time together. My parents and I have a strong relationship, and I try to be the best daughter possible just to make things work. That's hard to accomplish sometimes, because my younger sister and I don't really get along. I don't know what it is about her that bugs me so much. As long as we stay out of each others way, we maintain a healthy relationship. I have always tried my best to get along with her, but our 5 year age distance definitely makes that extremely difficult. My brother and I have always been inseperable, but now he is on to bigger and better things. He's in Cabo San Lucas opening his first hair salon.

My health hasn't always been great, I struggled with being a little overweight in 5th and 6th grade. That summer I attended a camp that helped me see myself with a different perspective, and it boosted my confidence enough to start going to the gym. I spent all my time working out and I think that it really payed off. I'm still not perfect, but in comparison, this is much better. Since then, I've maintained my weight by swimming and playing volleyball.

I hope to see you all during the next four years of high school. Thanks for listening, if you see me around say hi! :)
