Hi everyone, I am Lizette and I am a sophomore this year. Some things I enjoy doing in my free time are playing piano, learning the electric guitar, flying airplanes, playing tennis and definitely listening to music. Music has always been a big part of my life growing up, and till this day it helps me get through the most challenging parts of the day. I have been playing the piano since the age of 6 and currently play in retirement homes or in colleges for anyone willing to enjoy. Another big passion I have is aviation! I enjoy learning about different types of aircraft and their abilities. A fun fact about me is that I have flown a few planes in my lifetime, which is pretty exciting. I hope to one day become an Air Force Fighter pilot. If you are ever interested in planes or anything that flies, let me know! I am the proud president of the Aviation club at our school and will show you all the wonders of the sky :)

I am currently a Junior here at Patriot. I usually don't have a social life but when I do it's really fun and exciting. I also love different types of music doesn't matter the language but my favorite genre would be R&B and my least favorite would be country, you will never catch me listening to country. I have accumulated many nicknames collectively over the years, and one of them is Maui, so if you ever hear me respond to that name, no, you didn't (TwT). I love to read the last book I read was The Love Hypothesis. I have one dog her name is Paloma she was found on the streets and I occasionally draw her on eyebrows because it gives her more personality. The one thing I am looking forward to is going to a concert by DPR live. I'm praying that the tickets I bought were real but if they're not oh well you live and you learn. Sometime in the nearer future, I plan on going to college and maybe pursue some sort of business degree something in marketing or international business. Life scares me though so I just have to think about the present and enjoy it.

I also enjoy listening to music, I like listening to a little bit of everthing depending on my mood. However, I have been called somewhat of a swiftie by my friends due to my slight obsession with Taylor Swift. Besides that, I also play tennis and I'm a part of the schools Mock Trial club.

My brother's cat Dorothy is one of the things I love most in the world because she's always been there. I live solely for the purpose of daily cat pictures.The thought of a future career scares me because i'm afraid to choose the wrong thing, however I look forward to reaseraching different topics. Maybe then I'll find something that i'm truly passionate about. Overall, I look forward to being in this class.

Hi, my name is Gavin Torreflores and I am a Sophomore at Patriot. As for my interests, I have an obsession with Rubik's Cubes and Competitive Speedsolving. I have been doing it for over 3 years now, and I continue look towards improvement as I climb up in the world rankings (🏆 392nd in the world to be exact!). My journey through Competitive Rubik's Cube Speedsolving continues to enrich and grow as I meet sorts of people who share the same interests as me (I have met someone who has broken 65 World Records within SpeedCubing!) I have 2 younger siblings, (a little brother and little sister), and I love to spend time with them during my freetime. During my spare time, I would generally like to stay active whether it is taking a walk outside or simply do any forms of exercise. Very rarely, I would take some time to watch TV as I seem to have no interest in it (maybe the news). I have substantial interests in atmospheric sciences as I have attentive awareness about climate change, and I am look towards a potential topic in this class.

I love this course and I think you are going to learn so much about yourself, the world, and it will challenge you in new ways.
