How will your high school experiences help you in the coming years? High school has been a time where I have been able to face and overcome my fears which have prepared me for college because I am now able to leave knowing what I am able to do and who I want to become.

Fondest memory of high school: On our annual camping trip, we started the tradition of the “Senior Prank.” As sophomores, we returned from a walk to find our tent missing. Our senior year, we put someone’s tent on top of our school bus.

Which teachers have had the biggest impact on you and why? Dr. Beall has shown that he has the biggest heart and truly cares about every one of his students.

Who is your role model and how did they influence you? My parents have set examples for me, provided a safe space and everything I need, and have created a solid foundation that I can now build upon in college.

What is special about your high school? My high school is remarkable due to the community. I have grown up at Maharishi School since I was three years old, and I have met and got to know amazing people.

If you go back to when you were a freshman, what advice would you give yourself? I would tell myself that everyone goes through their ups and downs, especially during high school. High school is a time to find out who you are as a person and who you want to become.
