Shreya Arora –– Features Editor

Shreya Arora (’13), InFlight‘s Features Editor is a junior at Foothill High School.

She is not just your ordinary girl at Foothill. Shreya is actively in DECA, as well as captain of the Quiz Bowl Team.

“Quiz Bowl hasn’t started yet, but I’m sure it will be an exciting experience and I am honored to receive the title I was given.”

Shreya was born on September 27^th, 1995 and hopes to drive soon! She enjoys singing for fun. In addition to singing, she loves spending her time playing the piano, which she has played for over 9 years. She explained how playing the piano releases stress for her. Shreya likes playing music from the composer Chopin, which is quite amazing for a teenage girl to say and know how to play such complex music. “I also really like composing my own music,” she says.

On top of all of that she received this year was a social music diploma. But, she told me that “I wouldn’t enjoy teaching other people because I do not have the patience.”

Shreya’s favorite music to listen to are from the male singers Michael Buble, Jason Mraz, and Jack Johnson. She likes to shop at Macy’s and Forever 21.

“My favorite restaurant would have to be Little Home Thai Cuisine, and I’ve probably been there over twenty times. The people recognize my voice when I call to make a to-go order,” she says.

As a junior, she said her favorite subject is English. She mentioned that her “favorite teachers so far are Mr. Lipman- he seems like a pretty cool guy so far, Mrs. Dagen and, of course, Mrs. Crawbuck.”

When she is not busy with school, her music, dancing, and business activities, she is fond of going to Starbucks and going to get Froyo. “I absolutely love chocolate. I have in insane sweet tooth!”

In her free times she finds enjoys hiking, one of the only forms of exercise, besides dance, that she truly enjoys. “I have been interested in photography, or maybe it’s just a phase,” she says.

Shreya is very determined to succeed, and that is extremely inspiring. When asked what she wanted to do in the future, she replied, “I want to rule the world and be in business. Okay, I’m kidding kind of about the first part, but I want to make a difference and be successful in business.”

Not only has she accomplished a lot just for a junior, but she is even more motivated to make more changes and fulfill more goals.

Shreya looks forward to writing a lot this year and having another successful third year in Journalism.
