In her free time she regrets making people uncomfortable and enjoys making herself uncomfortable through exposure therapy. She likes hiking but not getting lost, working out but not sweating, loud music but not ear ringing, being alone but not lonely, and being a maverick but not a contrarian.

Bella Henriquez, a 17-year-old from Pelham, NY had an interesting journey through middle school before eventually finding herself unhappily transferring to Master’s to begin her sophomore year. Since then, she has found herself involved in 3 seasons of athletics, and realized that mandatory theater class was just a myth. She thoroughly enjoys staying active, exploring nature, forcing her passengers to listen to her music, and spending as much time with friends as possible; including hacky sacking and playing pranks. She has found a fine balance of pursuing art and working with animals as much as possible. Bella also enjoys rainy days and pine trees. Next fall, she will be attending the University of New Hampshire to pursue a pre veterinary track while balancing the partying and peace UNH will provide.
My Work:
Rosa Jorge is a 17-year-old from New Rochelle, NY who goes through at least a pack of gum every day. She enjoys complaining about track, running, using coupons, and spending money at her local Salvation Army. In the rest of her free time, Rosa can be found wandering in the woods, buying soda, or in Louisa’s car. She will be attending Smith College in the fall, where she plans on buying Dunkin at least seven times a week.
My Work:
Louisa Knauss is your typical self-hating Dobbs Ferry resident, spending copious amounts of time waiting at the stoplight in front of Stop & Shop. Between that and her hobbies of giving unsolicited music recommendations and lying face-down in the long grass on her lawn, Louisa doesn’t have much free time. If she did, she would surely waste it complaining to Rosa about iced shaken espresso prices. Louisa will be attending Bates College in the fall and looks forward to continuing her lifelong commitment to wearing ill-fitting men’s pants and calling it fashion. She will also never purchase a belt.
