Your Name
Addison Sacharski
What High School do you attend?
Mukwonago High School
Please highlight your accomplishments while in High School.
Throughout high school, I pride myself in maintaining a 3.89 GPA while taking 8 AP or dual college enrolled courses. I have been an active member of numerous clubs at school, as well as being the President of Junior Optimists club, and a board member of Sting Cancer club. Besides being involved in school, I have pursued my interests in sports. I ran cross country as a freshman and sophomore, tried tennis my senior year, and have played both club and high school soccer throughout my time at Mukwonago. Outside of school, I also work as a CNA at the Rehab Hospital of Wisconsin and am on my way to becoming a pharmacy technician certified through the Academy of Medical Professions at school.
Please tell us a little bit about your family.
My mom, Trish, is a speech pathologist in the community at Clarendon Elementary school and my dad, Eric, works for Advanced Wildlife. I am also the oldest of 3- my brother (17) Casey and sister (14) Gabby could pass as my triplets.
What are your plans after graduation?
Next year I am excited to be attending the University of Madison for pre-pharmacy, with the intention of getting my PharmD.
What is your favorite meal?
My favorite meal is pasta with pesto. I could eat it every day without fail.
If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would it be and why?
While I love warm weather, Iceland is the destination near the top of my list because I would love the chance to see the northern lights there.
What are your favorite movies? TV shows?
The Office will always be my favorite go-to TV show.
Who was/is your favorite teacher/coach from any grade? Why?
I have had the privilege of having many fantastic teachers throughout my time in Mukwonago, but none who have inspired and challenged me as much as my AP chemistry teacher, Mrs. Troeger, who I had the pleasure of seeing every day my sophomore and junior years. She is an incredibly intelligent individual, as well as caring, and one of the coolest people.
What is your favorite thing to do in Mukwonago?
My favorite thing to do in Mukwonago would be playing/watching sports. I love being able to spend time with friends and be a part of the crowd, as well as feeling the adrenaline and atmosphere on the field/court.
If you were asked to give advice to the younger students at your school, what would you say?
My advice to younger students would be to take every opportunity you are given- whether that is trying a new sport, going on a field trip, or the opportunity to earn college credit/certifications. Get involved and put yourself out there.
If you could choose anyone that is alive today and not a relative; with whom would you love to have lunch? Why? And where locally would y’all meet for this lunch?
I would have to eat lunch with Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist at Stanford, whom I admire very much. His knowledge regarding health and wellness is baffling, and I know we would have a great conversation over dinner at Fork in the Road.
What is your favorite thing about our community?
Mukwonago has many opportunities and is growing, but still has the small town, everyone-knows-everyone feeling. The support is unwavering.
What have you done to make Mukwonago a better place?
Something that I am proud of is the amount of time I gave to volunteering in our community, especially for those battling cancer through Sting Cancer and HOSA clubs.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In 10 years I hope to be a practicing pharmacist in a big hospital, being able to travel to lots of cool places, and with a super cute golden retriever.
Have you ever had a nickname? What is it and why were you given it?
My entire life I have been called Addi, which I feel suits me well, but another nickname I have (that’s not my favorite) is Sniffler, which my boyfriend, Matthew, calls me. It is a combination of a Harry Potter reference and because I have sinus issues and snore profusely.
What are you passionate about?
I would consider myself a very excitable and passionate person, but something I am most passionate about is travel and food. I am a foodie at my core.
What is something on your bucket list?
I am an avid national park and outdoor lover and it is my goal to go to every single one in my lifetime, with Zion and Acadia being top of my list.
What is your go to band / singer when you can’t decide what to listen to?
Zach Bryan
Favorite month? favorite holiday? and best single day on the calendar?
My favorite month is October, my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, and the best day on the calendar is May 5th.
What would you rate a 10 out of 10?
ICE CREAM! Always a 10/10.
Who inspires you to be better?
While he is younger than me, my brother Casey inspires me to be better. He is an incredible dancer (at the wonderful AOD in Mukwonago) and his passion, as well as his confidence in who he is rivals even the most self-assured people. His aspirations will always be inspiring to me, and I hope to see him on a stage someday… if he shouts me out for kick-starting his career of course.
Who would you like to give a Shout Out to that contributed to your success?
I am privileged to be surrounded by such love and support, so I would have to shout out to all my friends and family for always being there. Shout out to my forever travel buddy Lauryn, and shout out to the lovely Mack for my senior picture featured above!
