Ella Ann Peterreins is originally from Harrisburg but moved to Madison at the age of four. She says she “misses Harrisburg for the sole purpose that [her] bedroom was bubblegum pink.” She has six people in her family, including two sisters and one brother. Some things that come easily to Ella are music and sports. She is involved in pole vault, track, basketball, and volleyball. She is also in choir, where she participates in MadVoices and All-State Choir. In her free time, she coaches little gymnasts, hangs out with friends, and goes to the gym. She loves coaching kids because she “loves seeing the little kids smile.”
Some of her favorite things are Panda Express, the color pink, and Tom Cruise. She claims that if she could play any character in a movie she would choose Charlie Blackwood from Top Gun, because “she gets to be in love with Tom Cruise.” If Ella had to choose one superpower, she would choose being able to control people, because then she could make people do things for her.
In the future, she plans to attend SDSU or USD for a degree in nursing. In ten years, she sees herself with a family living in a big house. Throughout her four years of high school, Ella is most proud of maintaining her 4.0 GPA. Ella’s advice to the underclassmen is, “Don’t stress, and have fun.”
