Christina Gee

“Tech kids are really smart, but they’re also really dumb,” she says affectionately about her peers at Brooklyn Technical High School, the school she’s called her second home for the past three years. $0$0          Her name is Christina Gee and in ten years she sees herself graduating from the University of Chicago and “writing on the side,” she explains, her stylish bob swaying as she speaks.       $0$0          Although she is the editor of her school newspaper’s Arts & Entertainment section, Christina is more delighted to talk about her love of Brooklyn’s promenades or generally, her love of water. She’s unsure of Venice’s geographical location but does fantasize about one day rowing down the city’s famous waterways.        $0$0        When talking about her favorite film, The Lake House, Christina reveals herself to be quite the romantic. “It’s nice to know someone you don’t know is taking care of you,” she says, referring to the main characters who fall in love despite the fact that they’ve never met in person. Perhaps that statement can also be applied to her sentiment for her second family, her step team, who she likes to refer to as her “big sisters.” It’s obvious by the way Christina’s eyes light up when talking about her teammates that they’ve become like siblings, showing that what this intelligent, driven, confident girl values most is friendship. $0$0$0$0$0
