She also participated on the swimming team during her freshman season, while participating on clubs like ERA, Young Democrats and Guardian Angels. Jasmine is the Vice President for the junior class.
How is your first full season on the varsity going and what has been the highlight?
"My highlight was starting for Holy Hoops. I worked really hard and have been trying to improve my game. It was one of my goals for the season. I am not happy how it happened with Megan hurting her ankle. As a team, we keep persevering on the season. If we continue to push as a team, we can make it to playoffs."
How have you got better over the course of the season?
"I have been pushing myself at practice and asking myself each day if I got better. I have also been doing outside training to help my game."
What is your favorite aspect of attending St. Francis?
"My favorite thing is the community. I love seeing everyone every day. I look forward to coming to school and seeing every one."
You have the benefit of having a parent who works on campus. What are the advantages?
"I still get questions about whether my mom works here after three years. When I run out of money on the café account, I can call her to buy me lunch."
What is fun fact about Jasmine?
"I did pageants when I was younger. My mom won Miss California in 2003. She put me into the programs and I did pageants from ages 5-9. I did dancing, singing, sportswear, swimwear. I still have the dress from the evening wear competition."
What has the senior group meant to you?
"The seniors on the team are some of my closest friends. I love seeing them every day. The bond that have grown as a team and as friends is so strong. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am going to miss them so much."
What are your individual goals down the stretch?
"I want to put up some points. I need to step up and put the ball in the basket to continue to help the team."
What does it mean to you to be a class leader?
"It means a lot to be a leader for my class and being someone people can talk to or come to if they need a hug. It can be stressful with Homecoming or special events like Pax et Bonum week."
