A member of everything from Key Club to swimming, senior Haema Nilakanta seems to find a way to do it all. The WEB: What is one of your favorite things that youâve been involved in this year? Haema Nilakanta: Terpsichore, because I got to dance with a ton of awesome people. Also, swimming rocked, because Iâm a senior and could get away with slacking off. W: Whatâs one of the things youâre happiest youâve gotten involved with during the past four years? N: SHEF. Its one of the best clubs Iâve been in; I regret only being in it since sophomore year. W: Whatâs been your motivation/inspiration to be involved? N: I like what the groups Iâm involved in do, what theyâre aimed towards. I get to meet really great people, and that makes it a lot of fun. W: How did Prom court mix in with your other activities? N: I never knew what was going on in Prom court, I was so out of the loop! I depended on my other Prom court buddies. W: Did you like your Prom court match up? How was he? N: Yeah, Egeâs niceâ¦he kinda smells, but heâs okay with me. W: Why do you think people voted for you for Prom Queen? N: I donât know. I have absolutely no idea. Iâm very flattered though. Apparently Iâm âthe most BAâ Indian? I donât know what thatâs supposed to mean, though⦠W: Do you know what youâre doing after you finish high school? N: Iâm 75 percent, no, 85 percent sure Iâm going to Grinnell College. Iâm thinking about studying international relations, but Iâm always open to other areas and fields. W: What made you choose that field? N: I chose it because all of the classes Iâve had that were somewhat similar (A.P. Western Civ. and World Issues) I enjoyed, so I figured I might as well enjoy what I do. W: What have your favorite classes been? N: A.P. Western Civ. with Sullivan was amazing, and German Four is great. W: What kind of family support do you get? N: My mom makes food for me so I donât starve, my dad regularly gives me lectures about my future, and my brother makes up excuses to give to my parents so I can chill outâ¦plus he gives me cool music.
