Finish this sentence: "I could not live without..." My family.

What's the best and/or worst thing about being a senior? Worst thing about being a senior is making the hard decisions, knowing that those decisions decide my future. Best thing about being a senior is getting to leave early every day.

If you could move anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? If I could move anywhere, I would move to Fiji because it's warm so I can be on the beach all day and it has 300 small islands so when I get bored I can just go to the next small island.

Who has been your biggest influence in your life and why? My parents. They have been my biggest fans no matter what I am doing. I can always go to them no matter the circumstances. I know that they will celebrate the little things as well as the big things with me. They continue to lead me in the right direction and have taught me so many things that I can take with me when I go into the next chapter in my life.
