Eliana Gonzalez from page 3
While Eliana enjoyed all of her classes,
there was one class that stood out as a favorite.
“While I do love lectures in English
and Math, my favorite course was AP World
History with Ms. Richmond.” She says she
loved how engaging Ms. Richmond was in
her lessons and how she loved the subject
and loved teaching it. “I enjoyed learning
about history on a global scale because it
opened my eyes to how there are ways of
living completely different than mine.”
Ellie has an expanded friend group that
has been there for her since day one of high
school, and some even longer. There are so
many to name, so she might miss someone
if she volunteered their names, but they
know who they are. “I’ll miss every one
of them next year as we venture into new
stages of our lives. I will miss the teachers,
my counselor, choir friends, coaches, and
basketball teammates. All brought joy into
her life and have supported her endlessly, “I
am so grateful for each one of them.”
Mrs. Summers, her choir teacher, made a
significant impact on Ellie’s life through her
“kind and loving spirit.” Ms. Richmond not
only taught a subject she found intriguing
but also was the Advisor of a volunteer club,
she began with one of her best friends. “She
was a significant member of our club. She
helped my co-president and me organize our
meetings and figure out our goals of the club.
A vital part of Eliana’s four years of high
school was being a part of the school choir.
“My teacher, Mrs. Summers, and everything
she stands for is something I will always
remember. ”She not only taught her about
the wonders of the choir and the impact it
makes but also taught her life lessons on
the importance of kindness, optimism, and
strength. Eliana says that In her class, there
are so many opportunities for growth. I was
grateful to be an Alto section leader for
the past two years and choir secretary her
senior year. It allowed her to work on her
leadership skills, gain confidence in herself
and her voice. She said, “Like my parents,
Mrs. Summers believes nothing can hold
you back from following your heart and
your dreams. I am forever grateful to have
found both a friend and a mentor in such an
amazing teacher.”
A memory that stood out from Ellie’s four
years in the choir was a trip to Hawaii in
2017. “We went to Oahu, and we learned
a lot about the Hawaiian culture from the
locals. I had the best time singing, and my
roommates Nai’a Rose Richeson-Yandall,
Olivia Pederson and Madeleine Nolan made
the experience even better.
Ellie’s counselor, Mrs. Burns, helped her
focus on what’s important to her and what
goals, “I want to achieve in life.” John Peterson
was her basketball coach, and he made
a huge impact on her life. “He taught us all
to work hard and to set high standards for
ourselves. I greatly appreciate how much he
believed in all of us.”
Basketball was an important part of Ellie’s
four years of high school since it is her favorite
sport. “All my teammates have been so
amazing and talented, and they, along with all
my coaches, have brought me so much joy.”
One of her favorite moments wasn’t scoring
but starting at center on Senior Night. “It was
so nice to see all my family in the stands and
play with all my senior teammates.” Another
favorite moment was winning their first-round
CIF playoff against La Serna. “The energy
in the gym was incredible, and it was so
wonderful to see the smiles on everyone’s
faces after the win.”
With a hectic schedule, Ellie says her
faith is vital to her, and she is highly involved
in her church.”My involvement in the
church encouraged me to volunteer and
serve others in my community. I especially
loved altar-serving with my younger sister
because I was able to teach her everything
I knew.”
In the Fall, Ellie will attend Boston University
as a student in their Pardee School of
Global Studies. She will study International
Relations and is excited because she will be
able to choose both a region and a function!
“I love the city and cannot wait to meet so
many new students from all around the world.”
At Boston University, she says she would
like to participate in internships throughout the
city, study abroad programs, and be involved
with various clubs. She isn’t entirely sure about
Grad school because she is still weighing
her options because she still unsure of a
career she wants to pursue. “I am interested
in working for a non-profit organization for
international development. I’m also considering
applying for the Peace Corps.”
Remembering her senior year won’t be a
problem at her ten-year reunion. She says
it flew by just like the other three years.
She, along with her friends, will remember
the painstaking process of applying to
colleges. ‘I’ll remember Senior Nights for
choir and basketball and the wonderful trip
to the Bay area with my basketball team.
I’ll remember my engineering group and
our capstone project.” She says what she
and her friends will remember most is how
the world paused and stay-at-home orders
began and how the class of 2020 celebrated
their graduation much more differently than
usual and how a new human rights movement
began to make lasting changes throughout
the world.
Ellie says there were a lot of people who
played a part in her overall development. Her
closest friends were essential. Her teachers
challenged her, and her counselor, Mrs.
Burns, guided her. She says the support of
her family was the most important element
of her successes that helped her get to this
point in her life. “My sisters Mari, Gracie
and Isabella were always there, and we’re all
very close,” Ellie says. Her parents LeAnn
and Adrian made plenty of sacrifices for
her, mentored her and were her biggest fan
whatever activity she was involved in.
As Eliana turns the page on this chapter
in her life, she’s ready to make the world a
better place with her zest for living. •
