What is your favorite class? My favorite class is AP U.S. Government and Politics because I enjoy learning about government.

What is your toughest class? My toughest class is AP English Literature and Composition because some of the books we read are tough to analyze.

How do you balance your class work and your extracurricular activities? I am the type of person who thrives off of having a busy life, so I like to fill my schedule up. I work on the weekends, play sports during the week, and use my other free time for schoolwork.

What is the biggest challenge high school students face today? The biggest challenge high school students face today (in my opinion) is keeping their motivation. When it feels like everyone else has given up, sometimes it is temping to do so, as well.

Who has inspired you educationally? Honestly, I don’t think anyone has really inspired me. I have always been independent and motivated myself; I haven’t really needed someone to look up to.
