Senior Spotlight

What is the most influential book you have read besides the Bible? Why?
The most influential book I have read at Geneva is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley because even though Frankenstein knew he was a monster, he still reflected acts of kindness and compassion for others. He did not let the way people perceived him on the outside affect his spiritual inner being and the way he treated others.

What is your favorite or funniest moment at Geneva?
My funniest moment at Geneva was in seventh grade when Lily Flora and I were going to soccer practice. It was super cold and the boardwalk froze over. I turned the corner too fast and slipped and threw my water bottle higher than the portables. I told lily to catch it. We were both just dying laughing and I was still on the ground.

What will you miss most when you leave Geneva?
The thing I will miss most about Geneva are the special bonds I built with all the teachers and my sister.

Who influenced you most while at Geneva? How?
Señora Benz has definitely influenced me the most at Geneva because she is filled with joy and we have a lot of similarities. She is very wise and I have had so many unique conversations with her.

What does being a Geneva student mean to you?
Being a Geneva student means working extra hard to the glory of God. To be a Geneva student is to be honest, positive, hard working, and discipline.

How would you encourage a Geneva kindergartner to persevere in school?
I would encourage a Geneva kindergarten student to persevere through high school by telling them to take it a day at a time and just grind everything out. I would also tell them to enjoy all the small moments and not taken any for granted. Lastly,  I would tell them to go to every school event even if they don’t feel like it because I have had some of my most fruitful conversations with students and teachers at them.

What about Geneva do you hope never changes?
One thing I hope never changes at Geneva are the volleyball traditions that the previous girls have passed down.
