Sophomore Rita Tran has always lived in Portland. She came to La Salle from St. Rose of Lima School, hoping to join the design team, which she is now a part of.

So far, her favorite classes have been Math, English, and French, as she feels that she can express herself in those classes. The teachers have also been super supportive in all her subjects, making her like school. 

At La Salle, Rita is a part of many clubs, including the AAPI and STEAM team. She is also an ambassador and a part of the swim and tennis teams. 

Outside of school, she is an active member of the Leadership Team at Girls Inc. and a part of the Teen Council at her library.

Her favorite things to do in her free time include hanging out with her friends and sleeping. She also enjoys singing, the nature around her, and spending time with her family. 

In the future, she hopes to be able to travel to Vietnam and many other different countries in Asia.
