My name is Gael Connell, I am a 16 year old high school student in Mountain View high school and Freestyle Academy, where I pursue film. My friends call me humble, chill, down to earth, and I also speak Spanish. Some of my hobbies include fishing, photography, videography, and hanging out with my friends. I like to spend time with my family, and I value the people I love. My favorite classes in school are Science, Film, and AP US History.
My core values consist of accountability, having a growth mindset, and the ability to collaborate with others to reach a common goal. The core values that I express can be shown in environments such as working with others, in school, volunteering, etc.
I am currently passionate about volunteering, helping the homeless, and just making my community a better place altogether. I frequently volunteer at the local homeless shelter, giving out hot soup to people in need.
I chose to be a Freestyle student because I am very interested in Film, and producing movies. I first started making movies when I was 11, in 6th Grade. I used to make short films with my friends after school, and the movies have eventually evolved into large scale movies requiring a 5 person team.
