Meet Jescenia Ramirez! 5th grader at Caliber: Beta Academy

Words about Jescenia from her Teachers

• Jessie is every teacher's dream student. She's witty, enthusiastic about school, kind and incredibly bright. Jescenia is the kid that everyone wants to work with because she treats others with respect. Jessie is spunky and has a lot of personality; she is passionate about our ACT pillar and is often brainstorming ways to make the 5th grade better. She's an avid reader and LOVES books which breaks my math heart, because she's also a math wiz!
• Jessie's favorite quote is "Imagination is more important than knowledge" (Albert Einstein). She says that even though she is very smart, she has a very powerful imagination!

A recent interview with Jescenia 
​What is your favorite thing about going to school at Caliber? 
My favorite thing is the teachers because they encourage me to do better. I also like my friends because they inspire me to keep going.

What is your favorite subject? 
My favorite subject is reading because I want to grow up to be an author, but I don’t know what type of books I want to write. When I was little I wanted to write comics, but now that I am getting older I think I want to write science fiction. My favorite book right now is Wonder.

What is your favorite memory associated with music? 
When I was in 4th grade I learned how to play the trumpet in music class. Now I want to learn how to play the piano.

If you could go on a dream vacation, what would you do + where would you go? 
 I would go to Hawaii and I would check if they had any waterfalls because my mom wants to see waterfalls.

What is your favorite thing about the Bay Area? 
My favorite thing about the Bay Area is the weather. Its not too hot or too cold. When you go to other places its so hot or cold! But not in the Bay Area. 

What is one fun fact that most people don't know about you?
I really want to go to Harvard, many people don’t know that about me. It’s a really intelligent school and because a lot of people don’t make it in there, but i want to get into Harvard and know that I will learn more there.

Keep being awesome, Jescenia! We are so happy to have you a part of our Caliber community.
