P.A.C.K.

If you don't know, now you know. Well not yet, but almost! They are called "P.A.C.K." and they are comprised of four of the greatest human beings on this lovely Earth.

Palange

Alderson

Cote

Kronenberg

Each of them, unique in their own way has gone off into this world and has created a life of their own. But before they went on separate paths, they were separate beforehand. At this beginning, they met at Matignon High School in Cambridge, MA and became friends. At Cote's birthday party at Cracker Barrel during the three elder girls' sophomore year, they came up with the acronym P.A.C.K. to label themselves a group of friends. There was no turning back after that.

The four girls have had many adventures; too many to count. Each adventure brought them closer together, and to this day, the girls experience life together through visits, the internet, and with phone calls. Here is a brief introduction to each of the four girls.

Palange, Victoria

The youngest of the group; Victoria, was born and raised in Cambridge, MA. She has a younger sister, Isabella, and a mother and father (Susan and Stephen respectively). She entered Matignon High School in the Fall of 2004. At Matingon, Victoria was on the track team where she did long jump and ran the 200 meter. She was president and often the star of the drama club. She was co-founder and vice-president of the Photography Club, as well as a member of the National Honor Society, Art Club, Choir, and Asian Cultural Society. After graduating as Valedictorian and senior class president, Victoria enrolled at Harvard undecided. She is currently a sophomore there, where she studies French literature and works at Harvard's Dorm Crew as a Captain. Watch out for this spitfire!
