Countdown to Graduation: Liana Gergely

Meet Beverly Hills High School senior Liana Gergely.

What is your favorite high school memory: My favorite high school memory is my senior year dance company show. I had a solo and I choreographed a beautiful quartet. Having all my friends come and support me, and just experiencing the hype of the show is a feeling I'll never forget. Also, the entire cast goes to Jerry's Famous Deli after the Friday night show until three in the morning and it is such a bonding experience. It is really one of my happiest times, and I'm so grateful that I got to share four years with such talented people.

What will you miss most: When I graduate Beverly I'm going to miss my best friends the most. Although I struggled to find the loyal, honest and amazing friends I have today, it was so worth it. They say that you don't go to high school to find your husband, you go to find your bridesmaids. I definitely think this statement is true for me. Since I'm moving across the country, away from most of my best girlfriends next year, it's going to be a hard adjustment. But I look foward to coming back for Thanksgiving and winter break and catching up on all our college experiences.

What are your plans for next year: Next year I'm attending Barnard College at Columbia University. It's been my dream to live in New York City since I was a freshman. Barnard has one of the top dance programs in the country and I will be double majoring in dance and English. I hope to be a writer one day and the programs at Barnard and Columbia are perfect to help me pursue these goals.
