Outside of school, you can usually find me at my home. My home is my oasis where I can relax and get away from all the commotion going on in the world.
What has been your greatest high school memory so far and why?
My greatest high school memory would be my freshman year when my brother played for Hauser’s varsity boys’ basketball team and beat Columbus North.
What are you looking forward to after graduation?
I am looking forward to going to college, challenging myself, and getting out of my comfort zone.
Who in your life has inspired you or whom do you look up to and why?
I look up to my older brother, Zach. Growing up, he always encouraged me to never give up no matter the circumstances against you. Also, he taught me when you put God first the rest will follow.
What is the most important thing you’ve learned during, or from, high school?
The two most important things I’ve learned from high school are time management skills and to enjoy each day because you never know what tomorrow will bring.
