Jhoana is 18 and is in her final High School year. Next year, she would like to continue studying to eventually teach herself.
When Jhoana was still at Papaya School, she already loved volleyball and played on the school team. This enthusiasm and the skills she gained from this also came in handy at secondary school, as Jhoana's school team recently won the championships (schools against each other) and she herself was named best player of the tournament!
Jhoana: "It was a big achievement for me, and I felt proud. Being a player at the Papaya School really helped me a lot. I love playing volleyball"
Jhoana is currently doing an internship, part of her final high school year. She is working for 80 hours at a nearby school so she can experience what it is like to be in front of the classroom. Jhoana on her first internship day: "I was assigned to handle Grade 2 students in the morning and Grade 3 students in the afternoon. It was both an exciting and nerve-wracking experience because it was my first time assisting in an actual classroom".
We are sure that Jhoana will soon be a great teacher!
