Rosa Rico is, at 18 is the oldest of 4 children and two cats. The young Mexican-American enjoys reading and playing video games.
"I'm honest, trustworthy, nice, responsible, [and] reliable" she said with a smile, and some delay.
She is so trustworthy that if Nancy Kaplan-Biegel, her teacher, gave a test right now she "would be ok with it because she read the material".
However, she was rather reluctant to talk. A subject that she would gush out with and endless amount of words would have to be about her family. When asked for an anectdote she betrayed her usual smiling mask of complacancy and told a tale of when she got lost in an elevator.
When she was "like 4" she was "hella not thinking" and left the elevator without her mom. "Mom was downstairs" Rico said simply.
Unfortunately for her class though Rico has left us all behind in the elevator, she dropped last week due to her taking too many other classes and units.

I enjoyed this, Nick. I especially like your ending and your anecdote. You also wove in a few details you observed about Rosa (her smile, etc.).
