Student Spotlight: Nyriah McClendon

By Syeda Zehra

What have you liked about your eighth grade year so far? So far in My eighth grade year I have enjoyed algebra. Mr. Kinkaid is very nice and we have done many cooperative projects. I drew a pencil on my poster for math and I was really proud of it. I also enjoy playing basketball on coolmath in elective. I like lunch when we play uno without other grades.

What have you disliked about your eighth grade year so far?

Um, Mr. Kelly assigns too much homework. Um, grammar is too hard and I don't like being compared to other people. I'm sad we cant eat in math anymore.

What high school do you plan to go to? Why? I plan to go to Rush, Northeast Magnet, Nazareth Academy High School, CAPA, or McDevitt High School because they have either dance, field hockey, or excel in academics.

What are your goals for the rest of the year?

For the rest of the year, I plan to maintain my honors and hopefully get second honors. I participate in many activities such as field hockey, band, basketball, volunteering, and Students Run, so I want to continue to being an involved student at this school.
