| Skye Gomez |
My name is Skye Gomez. I am a 12th grader at Frank McCourt. Throughout my time at Frank McCourt High School, some things I enjoyed doing were being apart of the newspaper club, theatre club, and the tennis team. One of my future aspirations is to be an actress so being in the theatre club has really been a great outlet for me to learn more about acting and to get better at it. Although being an actress is a dream of mine, I am going to college to major in Broadcast journalism as of right now. One of my possible career choices is being a news anchor. Being in the newspaper club has also helped me get better at my writing and learn some things about journalism. Even though I’ll be sad to leave behind Frank McCourt and all the great people I’ve met here, I’m excited for what the future holds for me.

Chapter 7: Independence/Maturity

| Caleb Konrad |
Hi, my name is Caleb Konrad and I’m a senior here at Frank McCourt high school. By the time you are reading this I’ll probably already be a freshman in college. I will be attending Suny College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse New York. My major will be Aquatic and Fisheries Science which is rather unique considering the fact that I’m from Brooklyn. Fishing has always been one of my greatest passions so I said to myself why not study my passion in college. I’m excited and scared at the same time. I don’t know exactly what to expect but I can’t wait to live by myself. I also play the drums in a rock band. Maybe one day you’ll hear me on the radio. I’m definitely going to follow this dream too but it is going to have to be on the side for now. I strongly believe that you should always attempt to follow your dreams, however, school is a necessary path that must be taken to enable you to do this.

I plan on starting my trip by flying to Russia, and then making my way around Europe. Eventually I will come back to New York, and attend college, majoring in business and marketing.
Chapter 9: Respect

| Isabel Etchevarria |
I name is Isabel Etchevarria and at this point in time I don't know where exactly I am going in life but I have a direction. I have a basic plan but who knows if I'll end up being a computer science major or I might change my mind mid way and pick something else. I've learned to be able to not necessarily pick a direction but just keep walking. Even if it feels like there's no point and it feels like it's getting tiring, just keep going. It's better than being in one place. I got accepted into BCC (Bronx Community College), BMCC (Borough of Manhattan Community College) and Laguardia Community College and i’m planning to attend to BMCC.
