"Theater, art, band, and anything along the lines of the arts is my tears, sweat, and blood. I live for it," Jenifer says. She is a junior and enjoys art and being on the stage. Besides the performance arts, she loves using her imagination to write books, short stories, and songs. She's been drawing since she could ruin walls with a crayon and she's been writing stories since she was in first grade. " I remember one day after school, I wanted to make a book to show to everyone in the class. So, I wrote and illustrated about my two favorite Marvel characters, Wolverine and Spider-man," Jenifer says. " Ever since then, I've been improving on my art skills and all of my friends say that they wish they could draw like me. I always tell them that I'm still learning."

One of her favorite hobbies to do is aggressively playing Mario Kart against her siblings and is super competitive during family game nights. She loves spending time with her family and loves teaching her little sister how to play the piano. Jenifer has been playing piano for about ten years. She also plays guitar and the drums. " Music just comes naturally to me. It's like walking, but more creative and colorful," Jenifer shrugs. " I just think of what I want to learn to play next on the piano and I just do it." Jenifer is currently trying to get her mom to find sheet music of the Super Mario Bros. theme.

After high school, she wants to go to Snow College to earn her first six years of education to be a veterinarian. She loves animals and she wants to do whatever she can to help them.  She claims that some poeple may think she's a little crazy to wanting to continue for an aditional twelve years, but she wants to make sure she does something worthwhile with her life and put some kind of mark on the world when she goes to the other side.
