Melody Zavala is in 11th grade and her pronouns are she/her, she is also 16 years old. She was born and raised in Signal Hill, California and attends Wilson High School. Her pathway is LPS and her main interest is to decorate but she also likes to do arts and crafts, DIYs, collect books and albums. She is most inspired by her mom and her grandma because they represent independence and are very hardworking. Her main goals are to graduate high school and go to NYU college. She plans to reach these goals by working hard and to never give up and she wants to reach these goals because she wants to make her family proud but she also believes that her pathway will not impact her future because she will do something different in college. She likes to surround herself by being outside and never to be closed up, her family background is Mexican and her family tradition is celebrating Christmas on the 24th instead of the 25th. Melody’s biggest fear is planes. While we are in this pandemic, Melody is fully vaccinated, wants to keep her family safe, she would like to keep masks and think covid conspiracies are dumb. Since we are back in school a few things she would want to change about it is our dress code which means allowing everyone to wear what they want and to separate the students in groups. But Melody’s favorite thing about school is she loves to learn new things and gets to see everyone and everything in person.
