1. What advice do you have for younger students? My advice for younger students is to get involved. Participating in extracurricular activities is a great way to meet people and develop new skills. I would also say enjoy every moment of high school because it flies by!
2. Who is your favorite teacher, and why? My favorite teacher is Mrs. Cattrina Davis. She is kindhearted, thoughtful, someone I can always talk to, and she is willing to help me with anything. I always look forward to her class.
3. Who is your role model? What have you learned from them? My role model is my mom. She is the kind of person I want to be. My mom has taught me to have perseverance, integrity, strength, and kindness. She is my biggest supporter, and she has guided me to be the best version of myself.
