How will your high school experiences help you in the coming years?: These experiences will help me to know that it is okay to step outside of your comfort zone and try new things. High School helped me to be a part of many activities and clubs that I would have never thought about joining but ended up being some of my favorite memories of high school. I am very glad I was able to be a part of them.
Fondest memory of high school: Winning the conference title in volleyball my senior year.
Which teachers have had the biggest impact on you and why?: Mr. Engle and Mrs. Miller. Both of their classes made me enjoy high school and they both make each subject they teach enjoyable for all students.
Who is your role model and how did they influence you?: My parents are my role models. They both have taught me to work hard and be kind to other no matter what. You never know what someone may be going through.
What is special about your high school?: The senior parking spots make FHS special. My sister and I brought this idea to the administrators at FHS and were able to allow myself and other seniors to represent ourselves creatively while also allowing many community members to see them also.
If you go back to when you were a freshman, what advice would you give yourself?: Enjoy every moment of your high school career. Many say that it goes by really fast and it truly does. Don’t be afraid to try new things and take advantage of getting involved.
