Senior Spotlight: Tandra DeSoto

Tandra DeSoto, a nineteen-year-old, was born on October 4th, 2000. She is living with her mother named Cynthia DeSoto, her two sisters, and her cousin in the town of Madison, South Dakota. One of the many things that makes this family interesting and special is that they don’t always live together. Half of her family might be living in another area, while the other half is living here in Madison. Even though Tandra’s family doesn’t live together all the time, she knows that her family has a tight bond that will always bring them back together.

When asked what one thing that she couldn’t live without, she answered hastily the necklace that she wears every day. This necklace is so important to her because it was given to her by her mother, which is a reminder of how much her mother loves her. This also shows that it has so much sentimental value to her that she wouldn’t be able to live without it. Tandra loves her mother and family so much that if she got 5 million dollars to spend, she would spend most of the money on her mother. Specifically, she would spend it on buying her mother a new kidney and a new house that she could live in. With the extra money that she hasn’t spent yet, Tandra would give it to the rest of her family for them to buy a house of their own.

Tandra’s favorite subject is history. She loves history because of the amazing teachers she had learned from. Those teachers have helped shape her into who she is today. She also likes to learn about the different events that have happened in the past. Outside of school, Tandra likes to watch the action packed tv series 911 that follows the Los Angeles Police Department and other first responders who help when called. She also likes the Fast and Furious movie series because of the intense action scenes that are in them. Tandra likes the feeling that she gets while watching them so much, that if she had to be on a reality show she would pick Fear Factor

The next step that Tandra Desoto is going to be taking in her future plans would be college. Tandra is planning on going to the University of Las Vegas. She lived in Las Vegas with her family before coming to Madison, South Dakota. She plans to become a child and family social worker. Tandra wants to be able to help others that need help in their daily lives. 

Tandra’s dream job is to start her own clothing business or have a restaurant. She has found out that she is talented in cooking and baking. At home, when she has time, she will cook pasta for her family to eat. She will also bake them cakes and cookies. In ten years, Tandra can see herself having a house and her own business. Otherwise, she can see herself being a social worker that helps others.
