Leaira Corinaldi is a student at Struthers High School who is about to finish her junior year. Corinaldi is excited to be finished after a hard year filled with stress.
Junior year of high school consists of hard work and lots of studying. It’s hard to get through all the tough classes knowing you don’t have a lot of schooling left. Typically, junior year is filled with classes that challenge you. For Corinaldi, those classes are AP Environmental and Spanish.
Corinaldi is involved in many school activities and clubs.
“I am in Spanish Club, Interactive Club, Medical Careers Club and Future Teachers Club, also Big Cat Little Cat,” says Corinaldi.
Some classes are more simple and easy. Honors English has been the least stressful for Corinaldi. With each of her classes, her only goal is to finish with good grades to maintain her 3.5 GPA. So far, her goal has been reachable.
Corinaldi strategizes how to equal out her good and bad grades.
“I manage to get good grades by trying to end with A’s and B’s but also by getting all the easy assignments done with good grades so if a hard one comes around it won’t tank my grade much,” says Corinaldi.
Senior year is coming up for Corinaldi. Preparing for it is something she is going to worry about when it comes. She’s pretty excited to be a senior after being in school for 12 years. Her favorite part of her school day is getting to leave so leaving high school will be even more thrilling for her.
Corinaldi is ready for her high school years to be over.
“I feel great for senior year because I just can’t wait to get out of this school and go to college,” says Corinaldi.
