Sarah Gao, 15, is a rising junior at Saint Francis High School in Mountain View. Her favorite color is purple, her favorite food is rice, and she is really into tennis. She has traveled to many places, including Mexico, Canada and China’s Forbidden City, and has been to 10 U.S. states. One time she fell from a cliff in Mexico from about 20 feet into water, but lived to tell the tale. Her role model in life has been her dad, who helps guide her.

She wants to attend college out of state, particularly in North Carolina.
