鈱猈hat is one piece of advice you would give an incoming freshman?
It鈥檚 OK to make mistakes. Try to learn from them and don鈥檛 beat yourself up about it because I did that a lot. Every little thing I was beating myself up about and it was so bad.
鈱狪f you were a superhero, which one would you be and why?
Quicksilver. I鈥檓 always running late to things, and I don鈥檛 have a car. To be able to have super speed would be really useful.
鈱猈hat are you most excited about after graduation?
Moving into my dorm because that would be the first time almost living alone. I鈥檓 going into more of an apartment. I鈥檒l have a sense of freedom and have to rely on myself.
鈱猈ho inspires you the most and why?
That would have to be Scooby-Doo. I love Scooby-Doo. He鈥檚 always there for his family and friends. He鈥檚 scared of his own shadow, but if any of the gang is in trouble he jumps in head first even though he鈥檚 scared of everything.
鈱猈hat鈥檚 been your favorite high school memory?
It鈥檚 pretty recent, but our Senior Sunset. We couldn鈥檛 even see the sunset, but everyone was there together. That鈥檚 what I liked about it, the togetherness. Everyone was eating, taking pictures, signing yearbooks, signing t-shirts. That was very fun. Everything was so peaceful in that moment.
