Long answer:
Zara loves to be athletic; P.E. is her favorite class. In 2024, she helped her middle school volleyball team win a historic first place trophy in the MAISL championship. In addition to her school team, Zara also travels around the Midwest in a competitive club volleyball team. Her position is outside hitter, but due to her strong skills as a server, setter and hitter she plays “all around” (meaning she is never subbed out).
Zara's favorite sport is basketball. She competes on her middle school basketball team where they only lost to one team all season and took first in the championship. Zara also participates on her school tennis team and takes private lessons. Another favorite sport is track and field where she runs relays. Zara pushed herself to try new field events and was rewarded for her effort and hard work by winning first place medals in high jump, long jump, 100 m., and relay.
Zara loves anything involving water: swimming, canoeing, kayaking, waterfalls, tubing, waterparks and stand up paddle boarding to name a few. Some of Zara's other favorite physical activities include: rock climbing, tennis lessons, zip lining, high ropes obstacle courses, hip-hop dance class, trampoline parks, badminton, camping, traveling, snowboarding, downhill skiing, ice skating, biking, and skateboarding.
Zara loves modeling and acting, but spends most of her time at home or school. Zara is very dynamic and enjoys a wide variety of hobbies outside of attending a college prep day school in person full time. Zara is very theatrical and enjoys participating in her middle school choir and drama departments, most recently the play Newsies. Zara enjoys theater and has seen Cats, Hamilton, The Book of Mormon, Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Les Miserables, and The Lion King among others. Zara also enjoys browsing furniture stores, going out for dim sum, boba tea, ramen, and sushi.
Zara is an introvert at heart who loves being home, watching movies with popcorn and playing games. At home, Zara relishes quiet time to learn new things on her own, such as guitar chords, Morse code, drawing modern furniture or mythical creatures. She loves all animals and is especially fond of caring for her fish (a Beta and Buenos Aries Tetra) and snugging her 2 puppies (Snowball + Alpha). When she’s not by herself she’s wrestling her big brother Levi, having sleepovers with friends, or spamming the group chat.
