Who in your life has inspired you or whom do you look up to and why?

I look up to my brother, Adriane Polley. I can always rely on him and tell him everything and he tells me things straight. He has been the one solid person besides my parents who has been there for me when I needed someone to lean on the most.

What is the most important thing you’ve learned during, or from, high school?

Need to do things on time. Don’t take each day for granted because your life can be changed in an instant. Rely on God.

Draw a picture, write a poem or create something that represents you. It can be anything you choose.

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also the Greek (Gentile). Romans 1:16
