Erica Lee is the youngest of four sisters, plays 10 instruments, and loves Marching Band more than a teenager loves their bed. As a senior at Weber High, Lee is involved with all things instruments, maintains a 3.9 GPA, and works as a janitor after school. On top of that, Lee is the Student Body President this year. Here, she gives us a glimpse into her life in and out of Weber High.

What is something that has made you who you are?

My life hasn’t always been peachy. I started getting depression in 6th grade and was bullied throughout junior high. The summer before 11th grade, my depression hit worse than ever. I learned a lot from that time-period though. Now I don’t have time to be depressed because I have so much to do! I always say I would rather be busy than not be doing anything. I could go on this topic for a while, but I won’t. It’s just a tidbit about me that has really changed my whole world.

Why did you want to run for Student Body?

I ran for Student Body because I wanted to be a friend to everyone. It can be hard when you’re shy and don’t have anyone who reaches out to you. I know from experience. It can be rough when you don’t have a friend in school. I have been in office since 9th grade and I have loved being involved in what happens at school. It’s quite a task, but it’s so fun!
