By Raquel Granger Staff Writer
Transitioning from middle school to high school is often a difficult task for many, but not for Takiyah Iverson, a freshman grader at East English Village.
“High school requires independence and organizational skills to be successful student,” Iverson said. “Students should also be focused in their classrooms during learning.”
Iverson’s favorite teacher is biology teacher Arshala Washington. Iverson enjoys Washington’s creativity and her ability to keep the student’s engaged. Washington’s class is rigorous and challenging, which is similar to a college sitting. Iverson is definitely up for the challenge and plans to excel as a student in Washington’s class.
Iverson is member of the school’s dance program. She’s been dancing since middle school, and dance runs in her family. Iverson is also a member of the praise dance team at her church. Iverson is flexible and proficient in her movements and is valuable addition to our dance team. Iverson would love to be a choreographer when she grows up.
Iverson said she feels that her studies at East English Village will prepare her for her next level learning upon graduation. Iverson would like to attend Howard University and major in dance.
