Student of the Week: Hannah Holly
Curtis High School junior is making waves in the pool, and she's already thinking about her future in medicine.
Editor’s note: Every week, Patch will use five questions to profile a local student who has accomplished something awesome, whether it be serving in a leadership role; scoring the winning touchdown or earning an Eagle Scout badge. There are some great kids in our community, and we want to celebrate them!

1. What are some of your accomplishments that make you our Student of the Week? I am a varsity swimmer and water polo player. I was honored to be a captain last year as a sophomore. I am also involved with DECA and in the National Honor Society.
I have been swimming since eighth grade. I like individual sports. I like having no one else to blame when I mess up because I know what to do to fix it.

2. What are your future plans? I hope to attend a four-year university and play collegiate water polo and swim. I want to major in biology and study genetics. I like pleasing people; I just want to help people.
3. What are your plans for the rest of the season? I've never made it individually to state, so that's my goal. I'm close. I know I can do it if I put my mind to it. At districts, I just have to make sure I'm not focused on any other race than the one I'm swimming. I have to have tunnel vision.
4. In 10 years, I will be … living my dream life: graduated from college and somewhere helping people in some hospital, and if not, traveling the world.
5. One of my hidden talents is … being assertive. I speak my mind.
