How will your high school experiences help you in the coming years? Learning how to properly balance between school, work, and fun responsibly.
Fondest memory of high school: Making new friends and getting closer with old ones.
Which teachers have had the biggest impact on you and why? Mr. Sheyko/Mr. Venghaus: Really showed me that you can have fun while learning, while still taking it seriously.
Who is your role model and how did they influence you? I don't necessarily have an exact person to pinpoint, but I try to model myself after the great qualities I see in the people around the community.
What is special about your high school? The close relationships you are able to make with students and teachers.
If you go back to when you were a freshman, what advice would you give yourself? Study, but don’t overdo it. Worrying led to more mistakes and lots of second-guessing.
