Alina Lee, 17, is Korean and attends Brooklyn Technical High School. One memorable moment she described was her math class: She failed but she didnâÂÂt give up and studied even harder. âÂÂHard work pays off,â she says. She loves to bake and dreams of opening her own bakery store. Yummy! One of her embarrassing moments took place when she was in third grade: There was a talent show and she and her friends had to dance Britney SpearsâÂÂs moves but she was not good at dancing. Throughout the show, she stared at the audience and cried. She has a turtle, fishes, three cats – but one ran away, a dog, birds, a lizard, and a snake. Her hamsters are probably in heaven.
