Hi, My name is Nancy Arias and I’m a Junior at Triton High School.

At school, I generally like being around my friends and joking around if possible since it’s the time I see them most often. I also like a quieter classroom, quiet(er) voices and I infinitely love to listen to music while working. If I’m not working I’ll be on my phone or writing little poems on paper which then officially go on a journal if I like them.

After school on Tuesdays sometimes I will be taking college classes until about 3:40 pm. I also work on Fridays and Saturdays in a restaurant. I love the restaurant, Maddie, and the staff but some of them are…. not the best.

Activities that I do out of school include going out for walks, cooking with my brother to teach him not be like our older brother (he can’t even fry an egg), playing with my dogs, writing, lying around, cleaning, listening to music and horribly singing along, baking a cake, or playing video games.  Most of these I do with my little brother or sister, growing up very close to them as I helped look after them from a young age and I wouldn’t change that.

I do know I don’t want to be a professional journalist, I kind of hate writing if it’s mandatory and not something I choose to do on my own time or smaller topics, not to mention I do not think I am good at writing. So far I enjoy being able to talk to others for interviews thought.

I think writing for the school is important as it keeps us all updated and focuses our attention to on reading something for a few minutes. The media itself and journalism write about many dispersed communities we are in, may be interested in, which is crucial as it can bring us together on facts, events, or push us away depending on our views.

Speaking with actual wants I would like to do hair and makeup for others, be an aesthetician, or work at a salon. It’s what I always loved to do and for my friends to help them for special events. What I’m thinking of doing is going into radiology. It may not be what I want exactly but I know the money will be worth it.

One last thing I would like to mention is, because I am mixed and grew up in Costa Rica until age 8, I’m pretty fluent in Spanish. So any conversations and small talk are welcomed!
