Dean interviewed Brooklyn Braun for the September Student Spotlight. Dean asked her several questions about her likes and dislikes. Brooklyn is very interesting and does lots of things outside of school. Here is a little more about Brooklyn.
Here are some things that Brooklyn likes to do in school, school events included. Brooklyn is in Mrs. Matko’s class. Mrs. Matko teaches Spanish, and Brooklyn wants to learn Spanish. She is interested in learning the language because it is one of the most used languages in the world.
Theatre is a hobby Brooklyn likes. She has been in several school shows, but also some out of school. Brooklyn has been in Little Women, Newsies, and The Christmas Carol, and a few more. Track is another school-based event she is involved in, but it is after school. She shows up every day, except Fridays, and practices.
Out of school activities include softball, figure skating, and more theater. Brooklyn plays softball at the baseball fields on Gabriel Ave. The team name is McDonalds. She also does figure skating at the S&T Area. Last year, she did theater at the IUP Footlight camp. Brooklyn also used to do Beauty Pageants.
Dean asked Brooklyn many questions about different subjects. One was if she could have any superpower, what would it be and why? Brooklyn responded, “Teleportation, because I could teleport anywhere I wanted.” Dean also asked about her favorite book. She said, “The summer I Turned Pretty.” Next, Dean asked if she could go anywhere, where would she go? Brooklyn told him that she would go to Italy because she liked Italian food. Lastly, Dean asked when she grew up, what she would want to be. Brooklyn said she wants to be a doctor because they make a lot of money.
