Who is a teacher, staff member, or coach who has made a positive impact on you? How did they do it?
Mrs Mason, she is always so kind and caring with all her students. She always pushes you to work hard to do your best and prepare you for college. She is always supportive and helpful whenever you talk to her. I always look forward to seeing her since I don’t have her as a teacher this year.

My advice would be to do what you want to do and not what everyone else around you is doing. Don’t be scared to be different or not follow what others do.

If you could go to lunch with anyone, from any part of history, who would it be and why?
I’m not sure. I’m not a history person at all.
What are your goals for 2024?
My goals are to be more outgoing and try more new things as I start college and learn how to adjust. My main goal is to always do the things that make me the happiest.
What do you think is the biggest problem facing the world? Why?
Judgment from people. I think it is really hard sometimes to do what you actually want to do without feeling you’ll be judged. I think everyone judges everyone a lot more than they should so then their focus isn’t on themselves either. I think if everyone focused more on themselves instead of judging others, the world could be a lot happier place and people would be more outgoing or try more new things.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
I’ve received a lot of advice from family, teachers, and coaches, but overall it’s probably to just never give up and always work towards whatever goals you have set for yourself. Always stay positive even if something doesn’t go the way you wanted it to. Everything happens
