Aaheli

Aaheli's Inside Story
Aaheli is a pretty, brown eyed, black haired young lady with a knack for singing. Being an eighth grader at Herbert Hoover Middle School, she has hopes for college and a good future. Starting out as a quiet, shy girl, she has grown to be a kind, friendly, outgoing person who takes pride in hard work.

All Smiles
Kind, friendly, and happy. These are a few of the thoughts that come to mind when I see Aaheli. Since I was little, this is how I always saw her. Although she appeared a quiet, shy person when she was little, she was still the wild, crazy person I know today. While many wouldn’t have suspected this, since she didn’t talk much, she recalls, “Whenever I was in a department store, I would run off from my mom and hide in between racks. Once a lady had to bring me to my mom because I was crying.”

A ﻿Busy Bee
With many interests and hobbies, Aaheli sure can be occupied. She likes singing, tennis, swimming, hanging out with friends, and reading. With hopes of reading the Harry Potter series because she has all the books and has seen some of the movies, a person can tell that she can be an all around person. With all these interests, she still has time for school and takes pride in working hard and doing well in class. “My favorite subject would be science. I love to learn about the world around me.” Hopefully all this hard work will pay off in the end, since she doesn’t want the possibility of having a bad and unstable future hanging over her head.

Warming up her pipes
Since Aaheli likes to sing, it only makes sense that she’s in select chorus, in my opinion. She’s a good singer and while she already takes chorus in school, select chorus is a little like overtime, except it is fun. The more time she spends with her fellow singers, the more they seem like family as they are all talented and nice people. With select chorus comes a lot of opportunities to perform at different places, but to do this she and the rest of the chorus have to put in a lot of work. This all pays off in the end, though, when you sound fantastic. For those even more talented there’s Regions. Regions is a Central Jersey chorus that you have to try out to be a part of; there’s higher standards and it’s harder to get in as kids from all over central Jersey try out. Aaheli had made Regions last year and wants to again, but for now all she can do is practice since tryouts haven't started yet.

Looking into the crystal ball
This young student's dream college is NYU and her mind is set on it. It’s in the perfect location because she loves the city, and it’s not too far from home. In the city, there’s always something happening so she’ll never get bored. Her future doesn’t seem to have any singing, as she possibly wants to be a lawyer since she likes to argue. A teacher is also a valid option because she likes working with kids. As long as she’s “working in a good job, living in a nice home, and being responsible for myself as well as my family,” she’ll be happy, especially since her dream house is a giant pent house in New York near Central Park.

All of Aaheli's hard work is done with the big picture in view, so who wouldn't admire her for it? With this mind set, the future looks as bright as her personality.
