Easha Nandyala of Princeton High School

Easha has always impressed me with her great sense of maturity, responsibility and ambition. She has always taken charge in guiding her educational and extracurricular endeavors. She is intricately connected to her heritage, which has influenced a large part of her life, especially her involvement with music.

Finding an identity is not an easy feat. Yes, Easha has demonstrated a constant maturity and a healthy perspective of who she is and who she wants to become. Easha is passionate about music. She breathes, sleeps and dreams about music. Not only does she have a beautiful singing voice but she is also a talented classical musician who is viewed as a leader in PHS Orchestra. Furthermore, Easha’s love for music has allowed her to connect with Grammy award winning songwriter, Liz Rose – whom she meets with in Nashville, once every three months.

Although a great deal of her focus is geared towards music, she also engages in other fantastic activities. For years now, Easha has trained for triathlons – she is quite good. She recently qualified for the 2019 World Triathlon Championships where she will represent the United States in Switzerland. Easha has completed 5 triathlons and 4 half marathons. She has a passion for these activities because she is pushed to work hard, probably, harder than anything else.

Easha’s fantastic work ethic has also allowed her to relish great success in the classroom. She has always demonstrated a willingness to take academic risks. She is a participatory learner and a great influence in the classroom. She is well liked
