What extracurricular activities or clubs were you involved in, and how did they shape your high school experience?
I have been in cheer through all 4 years of high school. Cheer has taught me the importance of teamwork and also how to manage my time. Staying after school every day from August to November for practice has helped me learn how to balance my time in order to do schoolwork on time. It has built lasting friendships within my cheer group while providing me with opportunities to connect with students from different grades.
Have you had any mentors or teachers who made a significant impact on you?
Mrs. Patterson has been my adviser for all four years of high school, along with being my English teacher for two of those years. She always looks for the best in people and doesn't let you give up, offering help whenever you need it.
What are you looking forward to the most for your senior year?
I am looking forward to all the senior traditions, but mostly spending time with my first grade buddies.
What are your plans after you graduate?
After graduation, I plan to attend college and major in Animal Science and then pursue a career in veterinary medicine.
