Pitzer ProfilesAriana Friedman '10| San Francisco, CA
In high school, Ariana challenged herself by partaking in her school’s rigorous AP program. Ariana was also able to make time to participate in the performing arts. She performed in her school’s drama program. Her senior year, she played her biggest part as Glinda in the Wizard of Oz. She was also active in Chamber Choir, and traveled throughout Southern California with her choral group. In addition, Ariana participated in school clubs. She was the secretary of the Writers’ Paradise Club, for which students gathered once a week to read each others’ writing. She was also an active member, and later the president, of her school’s Gay-Straight Alliance. Her multitude of activities in high school didn’t stop Ariana from taking on challenges outside of school as well. “I have worked at the Peninsula Jewish Community Center for years. I first volunteered as a counselor-in-training, and then became a full-time counselor.” She continues, “One of the things I enjoy most about being a counselor is forming close bonds with the individual kids in my group.” Ariana loves Pitzer. “There is always something interesting to get involved in or some activity to run to,” she says. Currently, she is involved in the Queer Resource Center. She has also been accepted into the Five College improv troupe, Without a Box. —Jaime Swarthout ’09
