Hello! My name is Marin Torres and I was born in Houston, on Aug. 7th, 2009. My parents moved my brother and I to Athens, Ga was I was 2 and I’ve lived ever since. I am currently a rising sophomore at Oconee County High School. I swim and I also play tennis. In the fall and winter, my afternoons are spent at the pool, at swim practice. During the spring and summer, my afternoons are spent on the tennis court.
I love to read and listen to music. One of my favorite authors is Mitch Albom, whose books I always love. However, Jane Austen and George Orwell come in close second. I would like to think that I have pretty good music taste, although I pretty much listen to anything, from Chappell Roan to the Lumineers to Hall and Oates. Along with reading and music, I love watching TV. My go-to’s are “Gilmore Girls,” “Gossip Girl” and “the OC.” Sitcoms, I will admit, are my guilty pleasures, such as “Modern Family,” “Abbott Elementary” and “Kim’s Convenience,” My other hobbies include playing the piano, collecting records and paint by numbers. I have two younger brothers, one is 13 and the other is 12. I also have a dog named Obi (after Star Wars) who is turning 2 in July.
I love to travel, and my favorite place that I’ve been is either Barcelona or Alaska. In school, I am part of Model Un, Georgia Civics, debate club, and HOSA. My favorite subject is either science, government or history. I despise math and it is my least favorite subject. In the future, I don’t see myself having a career with anything to do with math. I swim for the school swim team, as well as play tennis for the school. I don’t have a lot of experience in journalism, which I would like to change. However, I took journalism as an elective last year for a semester and enjoyed it. I am not opposed to becoming a journalist, but for a future career, I am considering either law or medicine.
