Besides of being an outstanding student, she participates in any extracurricular activity she can and forms part of different clubs. In the middle of the 9th grade she had to go to live to Tegucigalpa due to her father’s job in the Honduran government. But this event didn’t stop Isabella from being part of a school’s organizations. In Tegucigalpa she studied at the American School of Tegucigalpa and was part of Operation Smile, Charity Club and Hope Club. Isabella has a great concern over the necessities of poor people so she decided to form part of these clubs to learn more about their problems and offer possible solutions. In 10th grade she continued forming of the hope and charity club and joined a new organization, HACIA democracy. While forming part of HACIA she had the chance to travel to Guatemala along with other students to a world-wide conference.

Isabella returned to E.I.S in 11th grade and kept on with her excellent academic performance and helping spirit. She joined the school’s charity club where she could do the thing she mostly likes, provide help to those who need it. As a senior she became the STUCO historian, which she believes is a completely different experience than what she used to do but is really enjoying it. As a historian she has to keep record of everything that goes on in STUCO. Isabella is a person who always loves to be active and is full of aspirations. Valeria Chahin, one of Isabella’s best friends, expressed, “I have never known a person so devoted to what they do, Isabella has a unique personality who reaches her goals anytime she proposes one.” Isabella is a charming girl. She loves the beach and traveling around the world. She is also willing to take any adventure that is presented to her.

Eva Hernandez

There are many awesome students at EIS, but the one I admire the most and I think she is amazing is Eva Hernandez. Eva is amazing because she is a great person; she is a great student and let’s not forget that she is a great friend. Eva is in various school activities such as: MUN and NHS. These are high prestige activities in the school, especially NHS. I don’t know how Eva manages to maintain such excellent grades. I don’t know how does she manage to do all the homework, I mean that I am not in any activity and my grades are not as high as Eva’s. Eva has been in MUN for two year now and in NHS for one year, she has attended EIS since day zero, since we were 4 years old. Eva is part of the MUN traveling team meaning that she is a delegate. I asked Maria Fernanda why she thinks that Eva is an amazing student and she responded: “because she´s dedicated in his studies and puts forth effort in everything she does”. I really admire Eva, she is one of my best friends, and she is one of the best students in school. Eva is a perfect example of a great person and student.

Andrea started her academic studies at the Escuela International of La Lima, where she formally has lived until the date. She enjoyed the time she had with her little friends and always took care of them, no matter what happened Andrea was always there to assist them. She invited her dearest friends for bike rides, dinners, or movie watching for the plain reason to be with them and have fun. As the years passed Andrea never changed her attitude towards the others but developed into being an independent, wise girl with a lot of interested and dreams to fulfill. Andrea loved to paint and be in a variety of sports. Although many may believe that as a student it seems really tough to be in extra curricular activity when you still have tons of homework to do; for her giving up what she liked was not really an option. She instantly started to balance out her busy schedule; never forgetting homework, friends, parties or her hobbies. Her main focus has always been school and making herself and her parents proud of what she does.
Andrea happily graduated from her little school and joined the Escuela International Sampedrana where she started her high school journey. At the beginning the adaptation of the new academic systems seemed almost hard for Andrea to handle but she knew exactly how to deal with stress for these situations and instantly got used to the whole system. In a couple of days Andrea helped those of her friends who needed tutoring on the hard classes. When it came to sports she did not even think twice to join the team and even though she knew about the consequences of being in them she gave it a tried. In months or even weeks the whole school knew about the great sport talent Andrea had within her. She showed everyone that she was capable of being a great basketball, volleyball and even soccer player. Andrea keeps socializing as much as she can even for her tight schedule. She is always there when her friends need her and she always has others to rely on. The first priority she has is school; she has outstanding grades and puts all her effort in order to obtain them. Andrea dreams to join her university dream and succeed on her studies. In a couple of years a dream will be a great person with big dreams and a series of achievements. -LV
