Full Name: Lanie Petersen

Parents: Stephanie & Ryan Petersen

Siblings: Rayn (22)

Parent/Sibling Trait that you Admire: I admire my family for their determination and their ability to find positivity in hard situations.

When I was young, I envisioned myself to be: A singer.

Future Plans: My plans are to go to the University of Iowa, and hopefully still participate in singing and acting.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years: Hopefully successful, doing something I love and am passionate about. And living somewhere warmer, with two cats and a dog.

What is your most memorable moment from school years at Treynor: My most memorable moment was probably White Christmas the Musical.

What extra-curricular activities were you involved in at Treynor? Jazz choir, choir, dance team, JOI club, speech, the musical, GSA, and improv.

If you have a day without commitments, what would you most likely be doing? Hanging out with friends/family, getting coffee, shopping, and making really dumb TikToks.

What are some of your favorites (e.g. books, movies, foods)? My favorite movie is the Wizard of Oz, and Dream a Little Dream. My favorite food is spaghetti and tacos. My favorite dessert is cheese cake. My favorite color is pink. And my favorite Starbucks drink is an iced matcha.

What will you miss the most about THS? The friends I've had since preschool, and the newer friends I made in high school. 

What advice would you give underclassmen? Be confident, and don't be afraid to not follow the crowd. If you want to be involved in something, but none of your friends are into it, do it. You will make so many friends with similar interests, and you might find that you're good at something you would never imagine yourself doing. Just be yourself, and don't let someone tell you what you can and can't do.
