SOM: A Glimpse of Ariana's Overflowing Altruism

Ariana Babich is a senior being acknowledged for her unwavering commitment to Goodwill & Compassion. For insight on Ariana's character, Kenzie Kemerson held an interview to delve into Ariana's character, exploring her thoughts on positivity and her feelings on being recognized as the January student of the month.

Ariana expressed that being recognized was a pleasant surprise, even though receiving the award caught her off guard. She emphasized the importance of showing kindness and generosity to others, knowing that they may not always receive such positivity from other people or places. Spreading this positivity and caring about others brings Ariana a sense of fulfillment, and she believes making an effort to bring joy to others is a significant endeavor.

Ariana's understanding of the impact of not receiving kindness has cultivated her deep appreciation for it. Consequently, she actively focuses on kindness and recognizes when others feel overlooked or neglected. When asked to share a message to the current and future students of Centennial, Ariana provided the simple yet powerful advice of "just try your best to be nice to everyone, no matter what."

Interviewing Ariana was delightful, and we eagerly anticipate meeting and talking with more outstanding students at Centennial! To view the video interview, click here.
