Audra Banks is senior this year and throughout her four years at McCallum she has accomplished a lot. Her main activity being Ballet Folklorico she is also in orchestra, latin club, art and many more extracurriculars. Throughout all her years at Mac she says her most memorable experience was her Ballet Folklorico competition in San Antonio, "We had so much fun just hanging out and winning at our competition", she says. She won the Magna Cum Laude award for the national Latin Exam and in tenth grade she went to the sate solos and ensemble.
In her experience at McCallum she found that she was able to make friends that were completely different than her. Through her experiences with them she learned about their culture and learned she could be friends with anybody she wanted to. Even though she had many accomplishments she did have some regrets. She said that she wishes she could have tried harder sophomore year. "I wish I could go back and make better grades". She really knew she belonged at McCallum when she saw all of her old friends from middle and elementary school and they stuck together ever since. McCallum has not only given her many experiences but also influenced what she wants ti do with her life in the future. Her plans for the future are to either be a music therapist, translator or even creating a foster home for kids with disabilities.
After all of Audra's experiences at Mac she has learned a lot and bonded with many people. She is sad to leave all of those opportunities behind as she graduates this spring.
