Senior year can be the most memorable of one’s life. For seniors, it is the end of one chapter and the start of a new. All their hard work has finally paid off. They will celebrate on graduation day and, not long after, they will be pursuing their dreams. This edition of Senior Spotlight is featuring one outstanding senior, Allee Mack. Allee Mack has applied “early action” to Yale University and will attend, if accepted in December. If she is not accepted, she will apply to Boston University, University of Virginia, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Villanova University, Wesleyan University and St. Lawrence University. Allee said “Being involved in extra curricular activities is not only important when applying for colleges, but they are fun, a way try new things and meet new people.” Allee Mack is extremely involved in school clubs. Allee’s most notable extra curricular activities are: Drama Club, Yearbook Club, Key Club, National Honor Society and writing for the school newspaper. Allee is interested in majoring in Neuroscience with a possible minor in either Spanish or Music. One of Allee’s hobbies is playing the guitar. Allee said that, “my older brother plays the guitar and he started teaching me when I was fifteen. I also genuinely love all types of music and I regularly attend music festivals and concerts.” During high school, she ran Cross Country and Track, but, due to a hip injury, was unable to participate this season. Allee Mack has been in many of Onondaga’s plays and musicals and enjoys them immensely. Allee has been in the following: The Princess Who Had No Name, Grease, The Three Musketeers, Once Upon a Mattress, You Can’t Take it With You, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Is He Dead?, Bullets Over Broadway, Treasure Island, Newsies, The Wiz, and soon, The Little Mermaid. For a long time, Allee’s favorite musical was Thoroughly Modern Millie because she said “It was our best show in my time being here and we had a great cast of upperclassmen.” Now she says, “Newsies is probably my favorite now, though, because I’ve always loved the show and I had a lot of fun with my part.” Auditions for the upcoming musical have not occurred yet, but Allee is looking forward to trying out for the role of Ariel in The Little Mermaid. When it comes to going to college, Allee says she is most excited about getting out of Syracuse and being able to “meet lots of new people from all walks of life.” However, she is a bit nervous about the workload that’s going to come with her major. As a senior, reflecting on your life is important. It has been a long road to reach graduation day and many students say they could not have done it alone. The people who impacted Allee the most was all four of her siblings. They have impacted her “differently and equally.” Allee’s advice to a 7th grader is “Join as many extracurriculars as you can because you’ll make so many new friends. Also, don’t stress about that one bad test grade or that one bad homework grade because in the end, all your hard work will be noticed and will pay off.” Allee doesn’t have a favorite grade because “there are bad things and good things about each grade” Although, Allee does not have a favorite grade, she does think that “senior year is definitely pretty sweet because you’re almost done.” Allee is going to miss the OCS teachers the most. She believes that “all the teachers here are kind and helpful as long as you put in the work.” Allee said that the teachers “will always have your back.” She is relieved to have had such a nice and strong support system throughout the “craziness of high school.” Good luck Allee in all your future pursuits!
