What’s the Case?
High School is an important part of everyone’s lives. You get to dive deep into your passions, meet new people, and learn many skills like time management. Greenwood High School senior, Eleanor Guipe, was able to take advantage of these opportunities.
Guipe was very busy the past three years at Greenwood High. Between being a member of the swim team, managing social media for both her publication team and school organization “Bring Change to Mind”, and working as a lifeguard at a local pool, she had to fight the feeling of burnout.
Despite the many hours spent at swim practices and in the publications room, she never let these activities triumph her love for true crime.
Being strongly family-oriented, Guipe learned of her passion for crime because of her mom when they began watching crime shows together, she couldn’t help but feel fascinated. Ever since then, “I have become captivated with wanting to catch criminals and help the families and individuals that have been affected,” said Guipe.
Over the years, Guipe’s passion did nothing but flourish, leading to her use of forensics as her senior project. Guipe plans to shadow a crime scene investigator, watching the procedure of evaluating evidence, taking photos, and how to process things into evidence.
After graduating high school, Guipe plans to study forensics in college.
After walking across campus, senior Eleanor Guipe takes a rest to smell flowers. Guipe plans to further explore her passions for true crime by studying forensics.
