Katie Keitges
My name is Katie Keitges and I am a senior at West Monona High School. Some people say I have way too much on my plate. I am involved in many school and outside school activities including Key Club, FCCLA, Band (clarinet and bass clarinet), Speech, National Honor Society, Girl Scouts, 4-H, and American Legion Auxiliary. I work as a library assistant part-time for the Onawa Public Library. Some of the major books and plays that I have read for AP English include Things Fall Apart, Oedipus the King, Macbeth, Love's Labor's Lost, The Kite Runner, Grapes of Wrath, Beowulf, Pygmalion, My `Antonia, and I am currently reading Angela's Ashes for my IRA (Independent Reading Assessment). So far I like the story, but I find it a bit depressing. It makes me sad knowing that this family has suffered so much hardship. I bet I could relate this to the book we are reading in class called The Grapes of Wrath. I believe that would work because they are basically in the same historical era, and they both suffer from loss, poverty, death, and hunger. After graduation, I am attending University of South Dakota in Vermilion, South Dakota, where I will study Secondary Education/ English and psychology. I hope to purse a degree in School psychology or Educational psychology. In college, I hope to play my clarinet and bass clarinet in the band, make the Dean's List, and get into the University's Psychology Honor Society. After getting my undergraduate degree, I hope to get into a master's program, graduate, get married, and have kids. My one long-term goal in life is to write a novel, have it published, and made into a movie.
