Mitali



 || Samantha DeSanto “I’m smart, funny, active, nice, friendly, and a little shy.” This is how Mitali Gupta describes herself. Mitali Gupta is an eighth grade student here at Herbert Hoover Middle School. Born on January 21st, 1997 at JFK hospital in Edison New Jersey, Mitali is a brown eyed, brown haired beauty. With a personality that just shines through the others she is definitely a person you want to be friends with. Mitali is an eighth grade girl who is free-spirited, loves her neighborhood, and is taking the world by storm. ** __ When She was Young. __ **       “I was a shy mommy’s girl who never got into trouble. Also, I was very close to my older brother who I adored very much,” recalls Mitali describes herself when she was young as an average little girl who loved her mom and her brother. As most children do, Mitali had a special item when she was younger. Her special item happened to be a white polka-dotted blanket that she carried everywhere. The blanket had ruffles on each of the sides. Also, when Mitali used to drink her milk from her sippy-cup, she would lay the blanket on top of herself. She still has the blanket now, but it’s somewhere “deep in her closet.” ** __ Neighborhood Times. __ **       Mitali grew up in Edison, New Jersey and has been living there since the day she was born. In fact she has been living in the same house for her whole life. “My house, to me, is the best house you could ever live in. It is two stories and it has a merry go round and a hot tub on the deck outside.” She truly, loves her house and the people who live there. The best part of Mitali’s neighborhood is definitely her neighbors. To her, her neighbors aren’t just neighbors. They are like family to her; they have hung out almost every day ever since she could walk. 
 * **  This is Who Mitali Is.   **

Mitali’s craziest childhood memory includes her neighborhood and her neighborhood friends. One day when all her neighbors came over, they went on the merry-go-round in Mitali’s backyard, where her dad used to push them at top speed where they couldn’t stop laughing and smiling. To Mitali, she felt like she was “flying and soaring,” which she will always remember as an amazing memory. Sometimes after school, Mitali and her neighbors play various sports outside, from frisbee to man hunt. They play a ton of games together, which is more enjoyable as a group, than with two to four people. Mitali says, “I am handling being an eighth grader pretty well. So far it is easy, except for math. I am enjoying hanging out with my friends during lunch time since they aren’t in any of my classes. Also, I am a little bit sick of middle school and want to go to high school, but I will also miss middle school a lot.” Even though math is the hardest subject for Mitali, it is also her favorite. She finds it sort of easy, since there can only be one answer. “Not two, three or even four, just one simple answer.” Mitali has enjoyed her time in Herbert Hoover, but can’t wait to move on to bigger and better things, including high school. Her current best friend at the time is Alexa. Mitali loves Alexa just like a sister. Their relationship is super close and very tight. “We tell each other everything and joke about each other all the time. We both make each other laugh too,” Mitali states. Their friendship is a friendship that a lot of people would like to have with their friends. The only things that Mitali and Alexa haven’t done yet are go to each other’s houses with their very busy schedules. After school, Mitali does cheerleading for the Edison Jets and she absolutely loves it. Since she is really light in weight, she is a flyer for Edison Jets. Mitali says, “When I get thrown up in the air, I feel like I am on top of the world.” When Mitali gets older, in about ten years, she hopes to be at Stanford University. Mitali wants to go to Stanford because the scenery is “amazing” to her, and the buildings are “summer like and really pretty.” Also it is an Ivy League, so that is a plus on her part. She hopes to be moving onto law school, since she wants to be a lawyer. Mitali also hopes to have her own apartment or even loft, and a boyfriend to top everything off. She wants her apartment or loft to be in Hawaii or California. When she moves into her own house, she hopes for it to have a pool, cabana, a HUGE kitchen, a HUGE bathroom, walk in closets, a home theater, and two stories. Mitali wants three dogs running around this HUGE house, and either a BMW or a Mercedes in the driveway. You can’t get much better than that, right?  And what about the man in Mitali’s life? She wants him to be himself, but she also has some expectations. Mitali says, “I hope for my future husband to have nice eyes. Also, I want him to be loving, caring, funny, cute, protective, sweet, responsible, and a good cook. But besides all that, I want him to be protective of me!” Mitali hopes to have two children, one boy and one girl. She plans on spoiling both of her children and giving them anything they want. As you can see, Mitali is a well-rounded fun girl. She loves her friends, family, and life, and is definitely someone I would recommend for being a friend for help and support. Or just to be there. Mitali can do it all with a huge smile on her face as well. Who wouldn’t want to be just like her?
