Allie caldwell SENIOR SPOTLIGHTS

What advice do you have for incoming Sequoia students?

“My advice for Sequoia students would be to put yourself out there as much as you can. Even if you’re nervous about it, just go for it. If it’s something scary, just do it. I think some of my favorite memories are making people laugh by making fun of myself at school or dressing up crazy for a spirit day. Put yourself out there and meet as many people as you can because it goes by so quickly. Talk to people that you don’t know because it’s such a special four years.”

When you look back on these years, what will you remember most?

“I think the camaraderie of people [is what I will remember the most]. We have good people at Sequoia. I’ve made a lot of good friends in high school. I’ll also remember going to football games and joking around with my friends. I’ve loved hanging out with people in class; most of my favorite memories are just being in class.”

How are you involved at Sequoia?

“I’ve been in ASB for all four years, and last year, I got to be the spirit commissioner. I was in charge of the rallies, which was a big task and very stressful, but it was really fun to get everyone’s input and plan behind the scenes. My senior superlative was most spirited, which I think is pretty cool. Decorating the school and trying to get people hyped for events were probably some of my favorite things

How are you involved at Sequoia?

“I am this year’s senior class president and I’m also in ASB. I am dance team captain and have been a member of Advanced Dance for the last four years. I’m involved a lot and I enjoy it all. I just love being a leader and I love being in leadership. And I really love being with other girls that I can just love and support in dance team and hang out with. They’re so funny and we all have the greatest time ever.”

What advice do you have for incoming Sequoia students?

“My advice is that being a kind person gets you so far here. Just being a good person and having strong morals so you can stick up for people or get comfortable doing that is so important as a person, but especially at Sequoia. There are many amazing and kind people that if you just say hi to, you can make so many friends and have a great support system.”

When you look back on these years, what will you remember most?

“I’m sure I’ll remember how kind everyone is; I’ve always felt accepted here. I’ve been coming here since the beginning of time because my mom has worked here for so long. I’ve genuinely grown up here, and I think it’s really shaped who I am as someone who can stick up for people and try to represent people as much as possible. That’s my goal, especially with ASB. I want to make sure everyone feels represented because I feel so safe here, and I want to make sure that everyone else does too.”
