Mackenzy Ehlers is 14 year old 8th grader at Dawes Middle School and is currently getting ready for transition for 9th grade at East High School. Mackenzy is extra excited to be enrolled at East because she was notified earlier after trying out for cheer that she made the team.

While interviewing Mackenzy I asked her a few questions like: how she would describe herself in one word. She answered with “Smiley.”. So i proceeded to ask what makes her smile. “Friends, Family, The things that I do with them.”

I also asked her to picture herself in 5 years she stated ” I would be out of high school so probably in college…” College seems like a great choice and I believe that Mackenzy can succeed in anything she can put her mind to.
