Yearbook

Which teacher/class/experience had a profound impact on you, and why?
Mr. Alba was never my teacher personally, but he was my community service this year. He impacted me a lot and I take it all into consideration. He helped me with school work when I needed it, he helped me with college a lot, and he even let me help his Biology students a lot, which made me happy. I have bonded with multiple teachers in my years at Upper Perk, but Mr. Alba was, and still is, my favorite and most understanding teacher I have had. He’s a great teacher. 

What is the one thing you will miss most about Upper Perk?
I honestly never thought I would miss Upper Perk, well school in general, but I already do because of the people that were around me every day. It was great while it lasted.

What are your plans for after graduation?
I will be attending Montco for 1 year, taking general courses, then I will be transferring over to Lehigh County Community College to participate in their Veterinary Technician program. I will then finish the program, while trying my hardest, and earn my Associates degree and become a certified Vet Tech.

What is your ultimate goal in your career/life?
I am hoping to become a Veterinary Technician while getting my Associates degree.

What is the one thing you will miss most about Upper Perk?
The camaraderie of the different sections of the school. We came together to either sing and perform a concert or to put together something incredible in the wood shop. Even though we were different people who didn't agree there was always something that made us all laugh together no matter what.

What are your plans for after graduation?
After high school I am going to attend Millersville University in the fall of 2020 to pursue a degree in Technology and Engineering Education.

What is your ultimate goal in your career/life?
I just want to give back an experience that I enjoyed so much in school. Becoming a tech ed teacher will let me show the kids of the future what it's like to have an unlimited amount of options to express their creativity.
