What’s your favorite class or part of the school day and why?

In which extracurricular activities do you participate?
Theatre, I am a part of the Thespian Troupe at North, Troupe #57.
When you’re not in school, what’s your favorite place to be and why?
My favorite place would have to be with my grandmother Kathleen’s farm. It is a place that I have been able to call “home,” a place that hasn’t changed at all in my life.
What has been your greatest high school memory so far and why?
Clinicals, during the nursing class, because I love being involved and getting that hands-on experience for further down the road, especially since it’s in the medical field.
What are you looking forward to after graduation?
Moving on in the medical field, I am currently a certified nursing assistant and working toward my bachelors of science in nursing.
Who in your life has inspired you or whom do you look up to and why?
I look up to my grandmother Kathleen only because she has inspired me to work in the medical field. She is a retired registered nurse.
What is the most important thing you’ve learned during, or from, high school?
I have learned that the friends that are meant to be in your life will stay in your life. But the friends that aren’t are just a life lesson that a person had to learn.
