From Junior Year Hello My name is Lucy Bollinger and I'm a junior at High Tech High International. My DP is not only a place I’m regularly forced to update by my teachers with projects and other class work we are doing but also a track of who I am through the work I’ve done in high school. It shows how I’ve grown academically and how my personality has changed over the years. This year is an exciting one considering it’s the first time honors is being offered to us (So of course I’m taking it) and this is the year we do internships (Visit my internship page to learn about what I’m doing). I hope you enjoy looking at my journey through this year.
From Sophomore Year Last year I wasn't a very interesting person. I just did the same thing and said the same thing everyday to get through each day. This year I'm changing that. I still like K-pop and have now starting participating in activities with people who share my interests. My favorite thing right now is to dance. I go to a K-pop dance class and have learned a lot and made a lot of friends. I always knew I loved danced but I'm finally just going for it and finding every opportunity to dance I get. At school I started a club called K-Club. It's pretty embarrassing but I still have a lot of fun. I just wish we had more people. I've been doing more research on North Korea. I am scared of it and love to learn about it at the same time. It's amazing and horrible that a whole country can believe lies and that a society, though it isn't functional, can be run by a crazy dictator. I know North Korea isn't the only country like this but they are unique in the fact that their people are so isolated. I would like to learn about this more in the future. I still like film editing and am excited for my multimedia class next semester. I know I'm going to get a lot better.
From my freshmen year: My name is Lucy Bollinger, I was given the name on July 25th, 2000. I enjoy being a little bit different from everyone else and love making unattractive faces. I make a surprising amount on a day to day basis. Honestly, I pride myself in it.
I’m a freshmen that loves world history, travel, language, and just about everything in that area. I like East Asia, a lot. I enjoy the history of the countries there. I’m also interested in how thick the traditional cultural norms are in some of those countries. Beyond that, I like the social media. But not just the social media. Although I do love jamming to some Asian pop and getting way too emotionally invested in some weird dramas, those are not the only reasons I like these countries. Music is a topic I’m pretty open on. Normally I don’t listen to music I can understand, but on the rare occasion, I like listening to English music. My biggest hobby is video editing and I am slowly getting better at it. I hope to learn more about editing at High Tech. I’m just a freshmen, not incredibly interesting or out going, but no one is at first, right?
