Serena Ibanez
2022 Whipple Writing Fellow
Serena Ibanez '23 is a dedicated student at Brookline High School. She is passionate about decoding the world that surrounds beings and is a believer in what Socrates once said: all I know is that I know nothing. We don't know if the colors we see are the right colors or if everyone is living in a dream, and that, she says, is the beauty in life, that there is always a mystery hidden beneath the surface. Serena aspires toward making a better world where everyone has the same opportunities, equity for all is abundant, and every living creature lives together in harmony. She is on the journey of accomplishing her aspiration, and the Whipple Writing Fellowship is one big step in this journey. Serena strives that with her writing, she will unravel more elements of this mysterious world so it becomes better.
