Tristen  Pearce

Full Name:  Tristen Thomas Pearce

Parents:  Charity and Eric Pearce

Siblings:  Taren (13)

Parent/Sibling Trait that you Admire:  I admire my parents work ethic. I think that they constantly work hard on what they do, and do a lot to provide for their family. They always help out, and are great role models overall. 

When I was young, I envisioned myself to be:  A scientist. I pictured myself in a lab working with chemicals and whatever else a kid pictures a scientist doing. I saw myself helping others and doing things to better the ones around me. 

Future Plans:  My future plans include going to Simpson and studying Health & Exercise Science, after that I plan on attending a graduate school to achieve my Doctor of Physical Therapy. The graduate school is still undecided. 

Where do you see yourself in 10 years:  In ten years, I see myself starting to really figure how to work as a Physical Therapist. I see myself married and about to start a family. I am probably swarmed in student loans, but enjoying the job that I went to school for. 

What is your most memorable moment from school years at Treynor:  My most memorable moment was a long one. It was the whole day of homecoming. Going around on golf carts all dressed up, watching a really good football game, and of course getting nominated homecoming king. I think that whole day was great, and I got to take lots of pictures with friends and family, and felt very grateful.

What extra-curricular activities were you involved in at Treynor? Throughout all of high school I have participated in Wrestling, Soccer, Football, and Track. I was limited a couple years due to injuries, but have enjoyed each of them. 

If you have a day without commitments, what would you most likely be doing? If I had a day with zero commitments, I would probably play on my PC for a little bit. I would go exercise, whether that's lifting or running, and hang out with friends or family, and clean around the house. 

What are some of your favorites (e.g. food, movies, books)?  One of my favorite foods is a chicken wrap. My favorite sport is football. My favorite football teams are the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Denver Broncos. A favorite movie of mine is Prisoners. My favorite TV show is either Dexter or The Office.

What will you miss the most about THS?  What I'll miss the most is the friends and people I have met along the way throughout my time at Treynor. I'll miss the community a lot, and the support from peers and teachers. 

What advice would you give underclassmen?  Don't worry about what others think of you. Focus on being a good person, creating good memories, and being the person you aspire to be. Don't let others opinions drag you down or affect the way you are.
