While quietly sitting in her chair, Nathalie Garcia, 8th, does her work and talks with others around her with a pleasant smile.
Nathalie would describe herself as a laid-back person.
“I just act very calm and relaxed,” Nathalie said.
Nathalie’s best strength would be caring for others, being able to let go of things, and moving on.
“I always try to help others, and I don't hold grudges,” Nathalie said.
One thing on Nathalie’s Bucket List is to go skydiving because it is something she has always wanted to do ever since she was a kid. She is also interested in traveling.
“I’ll get to see and experience beautiful things,” Nathalie said.
Lastly, Nathalie would also be focused on getting herself her own car.
“Then, I can go wherever I want without having to worry about someone driving me around,” Nathalie said.
Someone Nathalie gets along with is her sister.
“She is the only one I can truly be myself around,” Nathalie said. “The best advice she ever gave me was to not let things get to me. It helped me become more independent in a way.”
Nathalie values her friends so much because they are everything to her.
“They are funny, pretty, caring, and supportive,” Nathalie said.
