Ever felt like you’re balancing a bunch of activities? That’s the exciting life of Kristin Biondo, an 8th-grade superstar student at Jupiter Middle School! Juggling her social life, schoolwork, clubs, and staying true to her sports team, Kristin shows how to thrive in every moment.
Sports
Kristin is very involved with sports. She used to be on a swim team until there was too much on her plate, and she decided the timing didn’t work out. She even runs track when the season comes around. But Kristin said her favorite sport has to be rowing. She said, “I like getting to work with a team, and it’s not too time-consuming, so it works out well.” Kristin prefers being on a team sport because she knows her team has her back and is there to support her. She traveled to places like Jacksonville, FL, to compete with her rowing team to hopefully bring home the prize.
Clubs
SECME, HOSA, Animal Rescue Club, and Mariner Mermaids, you name it, Kristin has done it. Working in teams and competing in competitions has Kristin’s name all over it. With HOSA and SECME being her favorites, she has to work hard to make sure she and her team come out on top. “In HOSA and SECME, you get to learn a lot and work with teams to collaborate on ideas.” She loves finding out how to help shelter pets find their forever home in an Animal Rescue Club. Being able to put all her hard work into action to create something with her team is what makes Kristin strive for greatness in all her clubs. In Kristin’s free time, she makes wreaths to hand out to her neighbors!
How Does She Do It All?
Balancing your social life and keeping up with your school work can’t be easy. Kristin says the key to success is making sure you have good time management. “I make sure to only focus on one thing at a time, like if I’m rowing, I’m not worrying about school. If I’m at school, I’m not worrying about rowing.”
School
Kristin is an 8th grader at Jupiter Middle. She decided to be in the Medical Choice program, which some might say is the hardest program. But nothing can challenge Kristin. She chose medical as her choice program because she’s really interested in the human body and wants to learn all about it. “I want to learn the ways to help people.” She’s not one hundred percent sure what she wants to do in the future, but she knows this is what she wants to do right now.
