Hi! My name is Veronica Panina. I am a sophomore at SHC. I live with my parents and 4 siblings. Through a big family I have learned both communicational and teamwork skills. During my freshman year at SHC, I was a team captain for the Girls’ Frosh Volleyball team as well as managed the Wrestling team. In the spring, I was on the JV SHC Track and Field Team. I run distance events.  Running gives me a change to reflect and focus on the present. My favorite part of all the athletic programs I am apart of is the loving and welcoming community. Everyone at SHC treats you like family. I am involved in several clubs around SHC including Cugini Club, and Women’s Empowerment CCC. Through these clubs, I develop deeper connection to my school community and grow on a personal, mental, and social level.

So far, during my sophomore year, I stepped away from volleyball and into running. I received my Varsity letter in Cross Country. I am spending a lot more time doing activities and learning for myself. I am excited to see where this year will go and how much the world around me will change with time.

In my free time I like to create movies with my siblings and go on walks in my neighborhood, and run with my friends. When I am feeling lazy, I like to sit at home and watch old TV shows like Psych, Community and Phineas and Ferb.

During my freshman year, I took a dive to see the world through the lens of a Pedatric Radiologist. Peds Radiologists, as I will refer to them, use medical imaging tools such as CT-Scans, MRIs, X-rays, and ultra sounds to diagnose medical and surgical problem of specifically children. There are only about 800 Peds Radiologists in the entirety of the US. Through my project, I hope to promote the profession and make more people aware of  it. While I complete this project, and future ones, I hope to have a deeper understanding of the world around me and how it works.
