My name is Katya Mendez. I’m 15 years old and I’m a sophomore at Northbrook High School. During my free time I enjoy being with my dog and with my friends. I really like listening to music because it helps me concentrate when I’m doing something. When I grow up I want to be a veterinarian because I like being around animals especially dogs. I also wanna be a photographer because I like to take pictures but I’m not sure what I wanna be when I grow up. The main thing I’m focusing right now is graduating high school because I want to make my parents proud.
