This is Jessica Perez. She got her name from the actress Jessica Simpson. Perez from Colorado, however, her mom is from Colombia and her dad is also from Colorado. At 7:55 in the morning on school days she's usually outside her house waiting for her ride to bring her to school.
When asked where she’s from she said “Colombia because I practically go there every year” Jessica Perez (10). Having relatives in Colombia, she considers it her second home.
She also tries to go to Hawaii every year for her birthday. Perez knew she was grown up in 7th grade because of everything she experienced during covid. But what makes her still feel like a kid is going to Disney World. The park has a way of making her remember when she was a kid and how she misses life when she was small.
When she was small her favorite thing was TV, and she was practically addicted to it. Whenever she got in trouble she got the remote taken away. Even as a child, she would surround herself with Colombian music.
Although Perez holds a deep love for Colombian music, she's a super fan of Billie Eilish. She knows the lyrics to all her songs and even went to her concert in March of 2022.
In her spare time, Perez will occasionally sit on her phone or listen to music. She loves to eat Colombian food. It reminds her of her “second home” but her favorite dish is Bandeja Paisa.
Her biggest accomplishment thus far is joining cheer and being currently rostered on JV. When asked what goals she hoped to accomplish when joining Trail Media she responded with “ My goal is to at least accomplish and learn something new” said Perez (10).
Later when asked why she wanted to join Trial Media in the first place, she said that she wanted to know what it would be like to be part of the journalism community.
