Ami Noyori by Sophie Kuipers
Ami Noyori is a new student at Saugatuck High School and a sophomore. Just recently, Ami moved here from San Diego, California. Located in Southern California, San Diego is known for its parks, beaches, art galleries, museums, and the San Diego Zoo, among many other things. San Diego is also known for its warm climate, which is pretty different from the colder seasons here in West Michigan and must be quite an adjustment!
When asked how she was enjoying Saugatuck and the tenth grade, Ami said that so far, she was enjoying it. When questioned about which class/subject was her favorite here at Saugatuck High School, Ami said that Spanish was a pretty good class and that it would probably be her favorite so far. Ami is not currently in any sports or clubs here at school; this being said, she did mention that in her free time outside of school, she likes going out, especially to go shopping.
Ami’s favorite book/movie is the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, which was written by Rick Riordan. When asked for an interesting or fun fact about herself, Ami replied that she is fluent in Portuguese. In addition to being able to speak Portuguese, Ami said that she has also lived in Brazil. Brazil is known for many things, including the fact that it is home to the Amazon River and the rainforest that surrounds it, as well as an excellent national soccer team. About 60% of the Amazon rainforest is located in Brazil, and the Brazilian soccer team has won the World Cup numerous times. This, along with the country’s rich culture, makes this such an interesting place to live or visit!
Overall, it seems as though Ami is enjoying Saugatuck High School so far, and everyone is glad to have her!
