Interview of a Classmate: Hannah Holmquist

Hannah B. Holmquist is quite an interesting person. She is a person with a lot of strength determination and will. When I asked her "what moment defines your life up too this point?" she responded with a story of how her team won 5th at nationals, the first team even to get there in Eastview history. Some of her other activities are competition diving, non-competition cheer, and playing guitar. She also enjoys traveling and experiencing new cultures. With my brief interview with Hannah I saw her determination though how she set goals for herself. I asked her "where do you think you will be 10 years from now?" she said, "studying somewhere, maybe out of the country!" For her future dream job she would either want to be a teacher or something that let her travel a lot. She also said that she likes Eastview because the high academic standards push her to succeed. 10 years from now she hopes to either be teaching or traveling. When looking back at Eastview she hopes to remember her sports accomplishments. The only things that seem to slow her down are spiders, and heights "those are my two biggest fears," she said.
