My name is Sara Sowinski. I am currently a junior at the Waunakee High School and I am taking IDEA because I want to learn how to use the high-tech machines and software in this course. My favorite subjects in school are math and science because I like to problem solve. I participate in clubs and other co-curriculars throughout the school year. Those include Waunakee Girls Tennis, Pay it Forward, and National Honors Society. Pay it Forward and National Honor Society provide me with different volunteer opportunities around Waunakee and Madison. I always enjoy helping others because so then they want to "pay it forward" to another person.
During my free time, I enjoy playing tennis with my friends. I love tennis because I can play it all year round. I have been on the Waunakee Girls Varsity Tennis team for 3 years, and I played in the WIAA State Tennis Tournament in Fall 2019. One of my goals is to place in the State bracket. Some other things I enjoy doing are hanging out with friends and downhill skiing during the winter. During the summer, I like to water ski and go tubing in Minocqua where my cabin is. My family and I have been building our cabin for the past 2 years.
