Senior Spotlight: Ashlie Martinez

Ashlie Ann Martinez is the daughter of Tracy Pitts and Jorge Martinez. She is seventeen years old and lives in Madison, SD. She loves to read in her free time, so much so that she has a collection of 825 books, which shows how much she truly enjoys reading. Her favorite book is Awake by Natasha Preston. 

Ashlie is the oldest of five siblings. One thing that is interesting about her family is that her youngest brother has a double thumb. She is also very good at singing, and she can hit any pitch if she hears it. One place Ashlie said she would visit, if she could visit anywhere, was Greece. She would visit Greece for the scenery and because the buildings are very old. A tv show that she would recommend watching is Criminal Minds. 

Bubbles is what people who know Ashlie think about when they think of her. She has a bubbly personality and she fights for what’s right. If she had to be a character in a show, she would be Cassia from the Matched Trilogy because she finds the flaw in the “perfect” society and tries to break it. If Ashlie could be on a game show, she would be on Deal or No Deal because it’s all about luck and she would like to test her luck. Ashlie would describe herself as a pineapple because she can be sweet but also spiky. 

If Ashlie learned one thing from high school it’s that when you respect others you get respect back. She loves the color green, but not just any green, a rich forest green. If Ashlie could have any superpower it would be time travel, so she could see what the olden days were like. One thing Ashlie would try is shark cage diving because she wants to feel the thrill.
