Ali Ibanez is an Academy Junior and first-year staff writer for Achona. One of her favorite things to do outside of school is watch the Minnesota Vikings play football. One day she was watching football and randomly decided to support them in a game, and she has been a big fan of the team ever since. Her favorite subject is history and her favorite show is "New Girl". Her favorite character is Schmidt because of his humor, which can relate to her love of comedy TV in general. The thing she is most looking forward to this year is Junior Ring, and she is so excited to become a part of the Academy sisterhood finally. She is the ninth member of her family to attend the Academy, which is very important for her family. In her free time, Ali likes to play soccer and she is on the soccer team at Academy. She hopes to attend UCF and one day become a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative. Her favorite season is Fall and her all-time favorite artist is Taylor Swift.
