Ava Wierenga
Some people do not discover they like to write until later in life. This is the case for senior, Ava Wierenga. She has decided that writing isn’t too bad and has produced many great articles for the newspaper. “I enjoy going to different events at school to take notes and then making a great story out of it,” she says.
Many people’s houses are becoming more overtaken by houseplants each day and Ava is no exception. “I love my house plants, they are like my children,” she said. Her favorite kinds of plants are Pileas, Swiss Cheese Plants, and Pothos. “I am not great at taking care of plants and I often forget to water them. But I am trying really hard to keep them healthy,” Ava says.
Honors choir is really important to a lot of students and takes a lot of talent. Ava has been in the honors choir since 10th grade and has been in choir since 7th. “I really love to sing and hang out with my friends during choir. I am really going to miss choir once I graduate,” she says. She is excited for her last year of performances.
Running is not a sport most people would choose. She ran on the varsity girls cross country team in 11th and 12th grade and has surprisingly really enjoyed it. “I really do not like running, but I do love talking to my friends. It turns out that running really does clear my head and is a great way to calm down,” she stated.
