What is your favorite memory from high school?
During my Sophomore year spirit week, my friend and I entered the donut eating contest. We had a minute to shove as many donuts as we could in our mouths and we were hungry because it was right after strength and conditioning. They put two boxes of a dozen in front of us. We ate everything! There’s a picture of me midway eating a donut in the yearbook. It was super funny to see those pictures and it was really a highlight.
What’s a word that describes your senior year?
Busy.
What song defines your senior year?
“Promise,” by Laufey.
Which class do you think prepared you most for life after high school?
My senior research institute class. Throughout the course, we would talk to alums and professionals at what they called career opportunities. We got to ask them questions about their college life.
Finish this sentence: “In 10 years I’m going to be …”
A CEO.
What’s the top piece of advice that you would give to incoming high schoolers?
Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. I wish someone had told me that from the beginning. I was struggling with my courses during freshman year but I never had the guts to tell my teachers I needed help. When it came to my sophomore year, I spoke a little bit more and asked for more help. It wasn’t until my junior year that I told myself to just go for it. My questions might be silly, but just go for it. That’s what really helped me.
What are you most proud of accomplishing or overcoming in high school?
Passing my AP Physics class. At first it was super challenging because I didn’t always understand the readings and there weren’t always experiments in class. But I was able to overcome that and it is one of my biggest accomplishments.
