Please meet Kyra Geissler! “I grew up in Chicago and finished high school in New
Mexico. I have been vegetarian for 7 years and love being outdoors. In addition
to dance, I rock climb, backpack and kayak..”
If you could go back a few years, what is one thing you
would do differently? “Taken more dance classes
in high school!.”
With the COVID crisis, what one thing have you learned to truly appreciate? “My family and spending more time with them.”
What is the worst haircut you have ever had? “My best friend and I decided to donate our hair to
Locks or Love when we were in our last year of high school, so together we
braided our hair pig tails and chopped each other’s hair at the same time. It
turned out like a super old-fashioned bob cut that was only as long as my jaw
line. It took forever to grow out too!”
What is your favorite part of The College of Idaho? “The amazing
international community that I get to be a part of.!”
If you could bring back 1 fashion
trend, what would it be? “Dressing up when out of the house. No offense to
anyone who doesn’t do this, but I really don’t like athleisure.”
What biggest change have you seen in yourself because of
your decision to become a YOTE? “I see myself dedicated enough to community to do what
it takes to make it grow, even if it’s not easy! I feel responsible for both
the college’s successes and it’s faults, in a way I never imagined I would’ve.”
Who has been your biggest influencer? “Bix Firer, Director of the Outdoor Program. Bix has
always encouraged me and has done so much to help me achieve my full potential.
I am so grateful for him and all the work he does at the College!”
If you could say 1 thing to yourself as a senior in High
School, what would it be? “To take more pride in
the decisions I made and know that everything happens for a reason.”
“I am proud of myself for
being committed to growth and introspection. I know that I am far from perfect,
but I always do my best to recognize my faults, take accountability and learn
from my mistakes.”
Kyra is in her second season
dancing for Purple Illusion Dance Line.
