Humans Of Sophomores Honors: Solveig Lyssand

For our Humans Of Sophomores Honors assignment, I interviewed Solveig Lyssand.

By Samantha S. from Eureka Senior High School in California

“My goal for the year is to mainly maintain good grades, and also to try and do as much as I can without stressing myself out. So, academically I want to do as well as I can, but I also want to do a lot socially, and a lot with sports, and theater, and all that I do. I just want to make sure that I’m well rounded, and use the opportunities that I have to improve myself, and just be happy. But, I also want to do it without overly stressing myself out, because I tend to do too much and stress myself out. Overall, my goals are to just make a difference and do a lot, but also take care of myself while doing them.”
