How will your high school experiences help you in the coming years?: I believe school has taught me far beyond the classroom curriculum. My experiences in high school taught me many things like time management and organizations. Playing sports throughout high school has also helped me learn many important skills. Some of them include teamwork, communication and leadership. Having these skills will benefit me greatly in my upcoming years.

Fondest memory of high school: I have had many great memories throughout my high school years. Most of them have been generated from spending time with my teammates.

Which teachers have had the biggest impact on you and why?: Marley Hall has impacted me greatly through being one of my teachers but also one of my coaches. She has taught me to stay true to my values and not care what others think.

Who is your role model and how did they influence you?: My parents have been great role models throughout my life. They have shown me how to respect and treat others. I continue to strive to have their caring, comforting and selfless characteristics.

What is special about your high school?: The small number of students allows everyone to know and have some sort of relationship with them. Not only does it benefit students, but it benefits teachers as well. Having less students gives our teachers a better chance to know everyone.

If you go back to when you were a freshman, what advice would you give yourself?: I would tell my freshman self to be a master of time management. Managing time well can eliminate many stressors in life.
