Heather Ferdinand is a sophomore with many interests and goals, who hopes to make a difference in the lives of others. This year, Ferdinand joined Silverton High School’s cheer team.
“I cheer because I love it. I love the feeling of being in the uniform,” Ferdinand said. Outside of cheer, Ferdinand also likes to bake and read. She likes to bake because there are so many things to make. Ferdinand especially likes to make brownies. Reading whenever she can get the chance, Ferdinand likes mystery, horror, and romance books, because they keep her on the edge of her seat. “I read because it's like you are in your own little world,” Ferdinand said. Ferdinand also loves to listen to music, and listens to it constantly. She loves both country music and 80's music. Ferdinand especially likes songs that have a meaning behind them.
This summer, Ferdinand plans on going to both a church camp and a cheer camp. In the future, Ferdinand plans on attending college in order to become a second grade teacher or a freshmen english teacher. Her goal to become a second grade teacher was inspired by her own second grade teacher.
“She always pushed so hard for excellence. She always made us do our best,” Ferdinand said. Ferdinand loves to work with little kids, and she wants them to love school as much as she did. If that plan doesn't work, Ferdinand hopes to become a freshmen english teacher, because her freshmen english teacher, Mrs. Standlea was such a big inspiration to her.
