Cayden J. Cowan (Vixen), a senior at Capital City High School, She does A+ tutoring for Mrs. Harkins. Her favorite subject in school is history, because of all the things that have happened around the world, she enjoys listening to Maretu, specifically his song called “The Taste of Cockroach”. Outside of school, she likes to play games and hangout with friends, one thing people don’t know about her is that she is Transfeminine, which means she went from being male, to female. She is proud of her friends for pushing through tough times and continuing to do an amazing job on their studies, the thing that inspires me most is my cat (Felix) because without him, I would probably be doing worse than better, I would like to visit Cat Island off the coast of Japan. After High School, Vixen would like to go learn culinary arts, and finally, her advice to other students is, “Don’t be afraid to ask your teachers for help, they’ll help you pass your classes whenever you need their help.”
