High school has been a wonderful experience for me. I have done a lot since my freshman year and I grew from it. I made so many friends and a lot of the younger classmates look up to me, I feel honored by that. I would like to push myself past my limits and make goals to see how much I can achieve.

My favorite part of high was my Journalism class and my cross country/ soccer hour. I loved working in journalism because I was able to use my ideas to write and create our yearbook. I loved being able to come up with my own ideas. I loved cross country and soccer because I love by outside and exercising.
