What has been your greatest high school memory and why?
Prom, it’s an amazing time with friends. The whole process of prom is a lot of work, but it’s definitely worth it. Getting up early in the morning to get your hair done and the dress shopping, it’s just a point in our lives that we look forward to.

Getting settled in at college and beginning my studies to become a veterinarian.

Don’t procrastinate and listen carefully.
