Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself and what hobbies/sports you do.

A: Hi, my name is Beini and I’m currently a junior at Huron. I like to sing and I started singing when I was six. I don’t play sports but I’ve always wanted to play basketball.”

 

Q: What is one class/club you would recommend to underclassmen? Why?

A: I joined the student council through my freshman year. It’s focusing on the welfare of our school and Mr. DeMoss is a pretty nice adviser. He’s really advocating for some of the issues where the school is having students represent so I definitely recommend joining our club to underclassmen.”

 

Q: What’s an interesting/unique fact about yourself?

A: I’m an international student and I speak Chinese and English.”

 

Q: Where do you see yourself in ten years?

A: I will definitely go to a university and pursue a degree, probably in biology or science.”

Q: Who is your idol and why?

A: My grandmother. She has undergone many experiences in her life and she always inspires me in terms of going through difficult situations or facing tough times. “

 

Q: What is one lesson high school has taught you?

A: I would say being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. As a high school student, I have to keep the academic grades high, which makes me sometimes too stressed and anxious. So I just want to say don’t be too professional or perfect.”
