Sydney Mitchell
What college or university do you hope to attend next year?
Appalachian State or UNC Chapel Hill
What is your career goal or future career plan?
I plan to go to college for Chemistry with a focus in forensics. With this I can pursue a career as a forensic chemist, hopefully working with either the FBI or SBI.
What extracurricular activities are you involved in at Fike?
Throughout the years I’ve participated in swimming, marching and concert band, and various clubs. I'm currently a member of the National Honors Society and the Kindness Club.
What are your hobbies and interests?
I spend most of my time working at Target, but when I get a break I typically spend it playing video games. I built my computer myself and I love to tinker with software and new parts.
What does being a part of the IB Program mean to you?
Being a member of the IB program means I get to constantly be surrounded by friends and teachers who care for my future and want to help. It allows me to have a closer, more personal school experience.
How do you feel IB is preparing you for your future college and career goals?
I believe it has prepared me well for my college degree, as it has greatly improved my writing abilities as well as my time management skills.
