Q. Please provide the first names of your family members: parents, siblings and pets.

A. My parents’ names are Yoko and Alex Price. I have two older siblings, Sachiko and Benjamin and one younger brother, Kyle. I have three cats named Moon, S’more and Mittens.

Q. As a senior, do you have any specific goals you will pursue this academic year?

A. This academic year, I hope to build my architecture portfolio. By the time graduation approaches, I hope to have experimented with different artistic mediums, visited more museums and enjoyed exploring more places that I haven’t yet visited.

Q. What is your favorite class at Emmaus High School? Why?

A. My favorite class at Emmaus was AP Chemistry with Mr. Bradley because of the entertaining class atmosphere. It was a fairly small class that met everyday. We got to know each other fairly well and it created a very fun environment. We helped each other as needed and had cooking contests on half days we didn’t have work, which was very memorable.

Q. Have you received any special awards or recognition?

A. Yes. Academically, I am a part of the National Arts Honor Society, National Honor Society, High Honor Roll, the NFHCA National Academic Squad 2025 & 2024, the PHSFHCA All State Academic Team 2024 & 2025, received the School Recognition Award and AP Scholar with Distinction from the College Board. During my time on the Emmaus Field Hockey Team, I was recognized with Field Hockey 3A All-State Second Team 2024, Field Hockey EPC All-Star Third Team 2024, varsity letters for four years, and the William J. Grim Memorial Award — which is for the senior that does the most to promote Emmaus Field Hockey during their career. In addition, I have TWO varsity track letters, a 1st Degree Black Belt from the Toyamakai Karate Dojo and the 10-Year Award from That’s Dancin’ Studio.

Q. Are you involved in any extracurricular activities? How has being involved in these organizations impacted your high school experience?

A. I am proud to be a part of our Emmaus field hockey team and it takes up most of my time during the year. In the offseason, I run hurdles for our track team and take part in our yearbook committee, The Tattler. I’m also a part of our Symphonic Band. Being involved in various extracurricular activities has helped me to grow into the person I am today and allows me to meet new people I wouldn’t otherwise know. They have become some of my closest bonds.

Q. What do you consider your biggest challenge to date?

A. Last spring, I injured my hip and was faced with the possibility of surgery. I desperately wanted to play for my senior season so I played with my injury and pushed off my surgery date until after field hockey season. Currently, I’m faced with the challenge of postsurgery recovery while maintaining my academic standards and remaining invested in my interests.

Q. At this time, what are your plans for the future beyond high school?

A. After graduation, I plan to play collegiate field hockey while pursuing bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture at Northeastern University.

Q. If you could spend an evening conversing with an historically significant person, whom would you choose? Why?

A. I would most likely choose Cleopatra. While she is most well-known for her love affairs with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, she was fluent in at least eight languages. Her ability to shift power dynamics in times of complex politics is something that truly interests me. Historians have noted her as an expert in venom and medical remedies at the time. I would love to have a conversation with the cultural icon who had a rare combination of intelligence, power and independence in a male-dominated world.

Q. For what would you like to be remembered?

A. I would like to be remembered as the senior who worked hard for her accomplishments, helped those around her and was always respectful and kind toward everyone. I hope I’m remembered as someone who was always interested in various things, involving my friends along the way.

Q. Do you have any advice for your peers?

A. Have fun with it and try new things. If there’s something you’re interested in, go for it. The worst thing that can happen is failure and you can always try again.
