Alexa Geidel is a senior attending her fourteenth year at Horizon Honors. Since Pre-K, Alexa has been a leader and example student in the Horizon Honors community. Her first semester last year in Journalism was inspired by her essay “You Don’t Look Mexican”. She wrote the essay for an online English 101 class at South Mountain Community College. The Horizon Sun, The South Mountain Review, and The Ahwatukee Foothills News published it as a guest contribution, gathering attention from around the country. Her work has been professionally reviewed and edited by a writer for ABC and The Huffington Post. Writing is a passion of Alexa’s to say the least, and beginning to shape the path on which she will continue the rest of her life.

In addition to writing, Alexa finds her niche in the world of the performing arts. She has studied piano for eight years, sang in All-State choirs and performed in The Nutcracker Ballet. She is a member of the Dance Studio 111 Performance Company Team and the Artistic Director’s Assistant for the Ahwatukee Foothill’s Nutcracker Ballet. She volunteers at her studio teaching young ballerinas. She is president of the ACED club at Horizon Honors. Alexa is in the process of applying to universities across the country for next year.

With a death count nearing 2,000, the Ebola virus has truly plagued West Africa, and isn’t stopping there.
