Student of the Week: Dallana Ramirez!
|
|
“Dallana is an outstanding individual that demonstrates tenacity to excel in everything she puts her mind to. Her character speaks volumes as she carries herself as a model student and citizen. Her discipline and work ethic is poised and honest.”
Dallana Ramirez, 8
th
grader at Hogg Middle School, is our Student of the Week because she exhibits the IB Learner Trait of PRINCIPLED! Dallana is the oldest of 3 siblings. Her favorite subject in school is Graphic Design and geometry because she simply loves learning about math!
Dallana believes she was chosen as PRINCIPLED because she is very well-behaved and follows instructions. She believes that to be PRINCIPLED, one needs to have good morals and is taught to do the right thing.
Family is what inspires Dallana! She states that her family always wants her to do the right thing which ends up making people happy. She inspires herself also because she wants to have a good life and provide her family with a better life.
Dallana would like to attend HSPVA and eventually go to college where she is passionate about pursuing a medical degree. This will allow her to make people’s life better in the long run. Her goals include becoming a better musician and open herself to trying new things and be more open in general.
Dallana loves to sing which brings her much joy and self-satisfaction. This allows her to forget the bad things in life. She is passionate about writing and creating stories and poetry. She wants to sharpen her skills at being more creative and imaginative.
