What is your favorite class and why? Humanities, because I find that studying the history of our country as well as past events around the world very interesting. 

What is your toughest class and why? Anatomy, it’s a college course with a pretty heavy course load which requires lots of time put into studying. 

How do you balance your class work and your extracurricular activities? I try to plan ahead of time to be able to use any free period and time after school before practice effectively so when sports come around I’m done for the day. 

What is the biggest challenge high school students face today? I think the biggest challenge many high school students face today is finding the motivation to be able to complete school work to the best of their abilities. Since COVID hit, most students were impacted in one way or another and trying to go back to normal when not everything is normal has been a challenge. 

Who has inspired you educationally, and why? My dad has inspired me educationally my whole life. He’s always helped me reach my full potential and achieve all my goals. With his love and positive reinforcement, he’s helped me get through any challenge that comes my way.
