What are you looking forward to the most for your senior year? Even though everyone says this, I definitely am excited for all the senior traditions. Most of all, I can’t wait for Valentine’s Day and handing out gift bags. I have had numerous senior classes pass out valentines, and I can’t wait to do it myself! I’m so excited to do this because I’ll get to give my little sister, Quinn, who’s in 5th grade, a Valentine. Going to the same school as my sister has been such a blessing, and I’ve been counting down the days to experience this fun tradition with her!
What advice would you give to incoming freshmen based on your experiences? Soak it all up! Attend as many games as possible, take the hard classes, and have fun with everything. Even though it’s such a cliche, your high school years fly by so fast, and before you know it, it will be coming to an end. When I look back on my experience, I’m glad I enjoyed it as much as I did because I will have great memories to look back on for the rest of my life.
What tradition or event at Trinity will you miss the most? I think the thing I’ll miss the most is daily Chapel. It is such a special time for me and has made my faith so much stronger. Since I’ve been attending Trinity for 16 years now, not having chapel every day will be a really big change, but I am really glad I’ve been able to experience it for such a long time.
Can you describe a moment when you felt particularly proud of yourself? One of the moments I felt most proud of myself was when I found out I was going to be cheer captain alongside my best friend Katie. This was such a big achievement for me because this year was my sixth year of cheering. Being trusted to lead a team was really rewarding, and we had a great season! The relationships I made through cheer are some of my most cherished ones, and looking back on all the memories I made makes me super happy.
