Zoe Perez, Opinion Editor
There are many students in Agua Fria but only one I've met that was incredibly passionate about wanting the world to be able to hear her. Someone who is insanely crazy about ranting how people should have the opportunities to learn about themselves, and not only themselves but their soul. A person that wants mental health to be known to every generation, who wants to explain to people everything about a human being. Zoe Perez is the person.
Zoe Perez is a 14-year-old freshman and is an opinion reporter here in OwlFeed. As passionate as she is about life, she is very passionate about writing and is her reason for joining journalism and wishes to always be in it. She says that, “ I think writing is a way to express yourself, personally I could go on and on about topics and explain every detail. I want to be heard”.
Zoe has said she's been seen as an egotistical person, no not in a toxic or bad way for your own person, she explains that having an ego can help your image for the better, meaning that some people may not be okay with that and as much as she respects other people's opinions, she’ll argue how her definition is different.
She has a variety of interests and some of them being psychology, law, and philosophy. All of them play an important part in her life, her priority is getting the word about mental health out. Zoe says that, “ I think that when highschoolers talk about mental health it's mostly seen as normal teenager stuff, but it's never come up that it could be an actual problem or disorder, and when they actually find out it's harder to deal with.” Zoe is a person that would help you understand your true self. Along with studying the wonders of the mind, her future career is being a lawyer. If you asked her why she picked that, she would simply say “ people need lawyers.” As simple as that may be she loves wandering into new paths.
She is a very interesting person to meet, she’ll talk for hours about how important academics can be or why chicken is better than red meat. Zoe is one of a kind, she is always excited to meet new people, she will fight for her word to get out there. She wants to help you see what life really is, and learn about it with new people
