Meet Adriana Ramirez, a member of the Class of 2022. Adriana has been very active during her high school career inside and outside ERHS.

In addition to playing for East Rockaway, Adriana has been playing softball year-round for her travel team. Adriana is dedicated not only to Softball but also to academics. Adriana is a scholar-athlete and a member of the National Honor Society. She has also involved herself in Rock Rivalry, Chorus, and Orchestra as a violinist. 

Adriana has answered a few questions about her high school career and post-graduation plans. 

What is your “senior quote”? 

  •  “This for everybody going through tough times, believe me, been there, done that. But every day above ground is a great day, remember that” – Pitbull.

What has been your favorite class?

  • “My favorite class most definitely has to be AP World History.” 

What are your plans for the future?

  • “In the years to come, I will be attending Hunter College in the city, majoring in education and possibly minoring in psychology. I will also be playing softball.”

During your time at ERHS, who has positively impacted your life?

  • “Although many people have impacted me, the teachers that stuck out to me the most have to be Ms. O’Shea and Mrs. Parasmo. When it comes to other people, I have to say my classmates in the Class of 2022, they have all positively impacted my life.”        

What advice do you have for next year’s seniors?

  • “Relax and take a deep breath, don’t get too rattled with all the college stuff. Just remember that everything happens for a reason, and that’s okay.” 

What will you miss most about ERHS?

  • “Honestly, everything. Coming to this town in fourth grade changed my life, and I owe it to East Rockaway for so many amazing memories and relationships.”      

Thank you for giving us some insight into your experiences as a senior, Adriana! The Gull is so excited to be spotlighting seniors; stay tuned for more!
