1. What advice do you have for younger students? Find what you're passionate about and chase it; even if it's different, even if it's hard, and even if not everyone understands it. You don't have to fit into someone else's idea of success. The things that light you up and make you excited to work hard are the things worth pursuing.
2. What is your favorite school subject or activity, and why? My favorite classes are fused glass and photography because they allow me to have creative freedom. I love that both classes let me turn simple ideas into something meaningful and unique.
3. Who is your role model? What have you learned from them? My role model is my mom because she shows me what hard work looks like every day. She has inspired me to follow my dreams and to always do what you love. The way she handles challenges with strength and grace inspires me to be the best version of myself.
4. What makes your school special? RHS is special because there are opportunities for everyone if they choose to participate, is big enough to offer a lot of different things, but small enough to still know everyone in your class.
Clint Santee and Tanya Santee are the proud parents of Danielle.
