Most Memorable Moment: One of my most memorable High School moments was balancing a 50 hour week job with school. It was challenging but it taught me so much about time management and responsibility. Those lessons have stuck with me and shaped who I am today. It also taught me how important it is to cherish every moment.
What will you miss most after graduating? After graduating, I’ll miss the feeling of being young most of all. There’s a certain freedom and excitement that comes with these years, and I’ve easily taken it for granted all the time we have. I’ll miss the endless possibilities in the sense that anything is possible. More than anything I’ll cherish the memories and moments we shared, knowing that these were the best times of our lives.

My mom is everything to me, I honestly wouldn’t be where I am today without her always pushing me to be better. She’s taught me what real strength and resume look up, especially when life gets tough. I am so grateful for how loudly she chewed me on because of her, I never had to notice the people who weren’t there for me. Because of her, I know I can achieve anything in life. I put my mind to you. She’s showing me so many important lessons, I truly believe she’s the best mom I could ever ask for.
