This week’s featured Andes Central Senior is Anaias White Eyes. Anaias is the son of Natanee Patterson. During his high school years at Andes Central, Anaias has been involved in basketball, golf and the Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) program. He has also volunteered his time and helped the Feeding America project. Cheeseburgers with fries is Anaias’ favorite school lunch and his favorite teacher in high school has been Ms. Keizer.

Be yourself is the advice that Anaias has for underclassmen. His favorite high school memory was 2023’s prom. Anaias will miss the people and the memories the most when his time at Andes Central comes to an end.

After graduation, Anaias plans to get his associate degree in barbering. In ten years, Anaias sees himself owning his own barbershop or chain of barbershops and driving his dream car, a Lexus LFA. In his free time, Anaias enjoys playing basketball, weightlifting, golfing, traveling, cars and playing video games.

If Anaias could meet anyone living or deceased, he would like to meet deceased actor, Paul Walker. The most influential person in his life has been his mom, Natanee. Anaias sees that she is a very strong and independent person and has been an amazing role model for him.

Enjoy your last year of high school and best of luck in your future endeavors.
