Karina Pasian: Red-carpet schoolgirlBy Lee Hernández NY Daily News
Most students aren’t greeted with a round of applause when they walk into class, but then Karina Pasian, a senior at Manhattan’s Professional Performing Arts High School, isn’t your typical student. The 17-year-old Dominicana from Washington Heights sings in seven different languages, has performed for President Bush, and last week earned a Grammy nod for Best Contemporary R&B album for her debut CD, “First Love.” Pasiana was doing her homework at home last Wednesday night, when nominations for the 51st annual Grammy Awards were announced. “I was with my whole family and we were all watching,” she says. “They didn’t announce mine on TV, so my sister went online and looked through it, and said, “You got nominated!” “I was screaming and crying and my whole family was hugging and cheering,” she adds.
