Valedictorian at Port Isabel High School
Parents: Danno Wise and Marisa Kahn
Where are you going to college and why
I am going to attend Austin College in Sherman, Texas. I chose AC because of their rigorous academics and respectable softball team. I will be double majoring in communications and media studies and will play outfield for the Kangaroos.
Favorite subject
My favorite subject is English. I have always loved to write stories and English is the class where I can do that. I hope to become a sports journalist one day, so I enjoy English because it prepares me for my career path.
Most influential person
My father is the most influential person in my life. He has always encouraged me to pursue all dreams that I have while still reminding me to keep in touch with reality. He is the person who initiated my interest in both softball and journalism.
Activities involved in
Throughout high school, I was involved in varsity softball, UIL, student council, DECA, FCCLA, Junior Leadership and National Honor Society.
