Q&A: Glen Burnie High School Student Alaina Aragon

Patch caught up with Glen Burnie High School student Alaina Aragon, 17, a senior at the school, in December. The Severn resident and treasurer of Glen Burnie High's National Honor Society (NHS) chapter spoke about the many community service projects the group has been involved with this year and what life is like at the school.

Patch stopped her to ask .

Glen Burnie Patch: What do you like about being part of the National Honor Society?
Alaina Aragon: I like the fact that the community does so much for us. We all come together ... and we probably wouldn't come together if we were asked outside of the National Honor Society.

Glen Burnie Patch: What are your plans after high school?
Alaina: I plan on majoring in cyber security and I'm thinking about joining the military, but I'm not sure. I'd join after college. I'm going to go to Anne Arundel Community College [and then] to UMBC.

Glen Burnie Patch: What other extracurricular activities are you involved in?
Alaina: I'm in the Spanish Honor Society, I'm a class officer, I'm in the theater tech crew, I'm a thespian and I'm on the Technical Honor Society.

Glen Burnie Patch: What do you do in your free time?
Alaina: I volunteer with my church ... Saint Joseph's in Odenton. I like to sing. And I do a lot of homework and [spend a lot of time] applying for scholarships.

Glen Burnie Patch: What do you like about going to Glen Burnie High School?
Alaina: I like that people that I surround myself with. And the teachers are very supportive of my goals. Everything I do, they're there for me.
