| Senior Gloria Yoo poses for a picture. |
Senior Gloria Yoo’s passion is chorus; she even serves as a teacher assistant for the class. She has been on the A and A-B honor roll her entire high school career, and she received an AP Scholar Award. Yoo is president of the Book Club and International Club, and she takes care to commit fully to her endeavors.
Outside of school, Yoo enjoys a wide range of activities, including reading, making up random songs, and writing letters and journals. “I’m old fashioned like that,” said Yoo, “Postage mail makes me happy.” Her favorite authors include Jules Vern, Robin McKinley, Rick Riordan, and occasionally Jane Austen. When asked about music, she said, “I just listen to what I like to. There are too many good composers and artists out there.” Her role model is her mom, because “she’s taught me a lot and she’s always been there for me even though we don’t always get along. She guides to the truth of the situation.”
Along with chorus, Yoo’s favorite subject is anything to do with the humanities. Though she does say that “the teacher is a big factor in designing how well I do.” Yoo has applied to many prestigious universities, including Yale as her number one choice. In college, she plans to study psychology and education, and hopes to one day become a teacher. Yoo said that she has a “passion to form education so it focuses on the student and their potential, rather than feeding them information.”
