Biography of a friend: Veda Alexandra

Veda Alexandra, or Veda was born in October 16 1999. She is by far the most active person in school and is a nerd as well. She is the oldest in her family and has one sister who is currently staying in the seventh grade.

Veda has a lot of friends despite her unique attitude. Unique in mostly a bad way for me, but sometimes she can be nice too.

The first time I met her was back to the day when I entered SpringField, which was in 2011. My first impression towards her was that she is a quite girl and very smart at the same time. She has 3 friends who were extremely close to her. Those three are Jessica, Sherlin (Veda's cousin and friend) & Herlina.

After three years of staying here in Springfield in my current grade which is grade 10, I'm finally in the same class with Veda. As far as I can say, Veda is not what I thought she is, instead Veda is a very loud person that can be very rude or very nice (sometimes). If you are trying to mess with with her, then be prepared to feel her wrath. Usually she will kick you or pull your hair (even girls), either way both are very painful in my opinion.

Last time I asked several questions to her :

How did you arrive at being a student at SF? What path brought you here?
What are you known for in life? What talents do you have?
What’s the one problem you are best at solving for your your friends? What do your best friends say about you?
Where have you gone to school in the past? And what have you liked most to study?
What are you most passionate about spiritually? What most excites you about your work & the contribution you can make?
What are you passionate about academically? What do you really enjoy? What can’t you stop talking about?
Where can we find you when you’re not working? What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend or a Sunday afternoon?
How long have you been a serious student? If not one, when do you intend to start?
Where did you grow up and why aren’t you there now?
Any volunteer activities you’re crazy about?
Any nonprofits you love, & why?
Any awards or medals, or even medallions? Personal okay, too.
What would be impossible for you to give up?
Why would someone not want to work with you?
How do you want to be remembered?
Anything else you’d like to tell people about yourself?

Veda was a former High Scope school student together with her 3 best friends I mentioned earlier. Basically, she entered SpringField because of an advertisement she saw. At first she thought its not the best school to get into, but after some information she gained from her relatives and friends, she decided to enter SpringField anyway.


When I asked her what is she most passionate about in life, she answered that it is to study and gain as much knowledge as she possibly could. She loves to help her friend in times of difficulty and cheer them up. Veda is also very close to her female teachers. She would hug them in class and have no shame even if her classmates are watching. The only male teacher she spend most time with is probably Mr. CK, that is her beloved physics teacher. 

After asking several questions, I can see that Veda is a person that is full of expectations and a very sociable person, which I think is kind of surprising despite her look and what she does most of the time: Studying.

Veda also loves working with people in or out of the class. In class she will pleasurably help her classmates who are struggling. I can say this, as often times I see my friends who are experiencing a problem will often seek for Veda's help because she has the ability and the leadership to guide them.
All in all, Veda is a great friend and student. She can be a better person if she's able to handle her own emotion and just let go all the mockery she receives. I wish the best for her study and hope that she can follow the path God has set for her life.
