Ashley Pavlak

Hey all! I am Ashley Pavlak (as you can probably tell from the title) and i am very excited to be a part of the C-WAYS project! Stars, CalTech, NASA...it's my childhood dream come true.

I go to Lincoln-Way West high school in the middle of a cornfield. Actually, that's not entirely true--there is a church right next door. True story, you can see it from our Marching Band practice field!

About Me

I'm in the color guard of the Marching Warriors and am the dance captain this year. I'm also in Bella Capella (the girls after school choir), Junior Classical League (Latin club), National Honors Society, Mu Alpha Theta, and Mathletes (ps we got 10th in state this past year, and my calculator team got third!). Wait, and the Winterguard. Did I mention everything? Yeah, I think so. So can you tell I'm involved in extracurriculars?

Right now I'm undecided about college, but I definitely want to go to a state school to be near my family. I hope to major in Mathematics (nerdy, I know. My friends tell me daily) and to become certified in teaching. I think it would be fantastic to be a high school/junior high math teacher. I especially like trigonometry. Yes, I am that nut that sits in the back of the room doing math problems on scrap sheets of paper. That was probably how I became secretary of the Mathletes.
