Julia Ames
PARENTS: Sarah and Marty Ames

If I were principal for a day: I would make it bring your dog to school day
Favorite school memory: Getting the chance to go to Disney for a week in December with the marching band. The trip was a fun break from the cold weather and a super fun experience getting to be surrounded with my friends and experience Disney for the first time.
People who have been an inspiration to me include: My parents and older sister.
Because: No matter what I have been apart they have always supported me and been my biggest fans even when trying something new. My family has always pushed me to do my best and I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish many of my goals without their support.
Lately, I have been reading: Heart of Darkness
My advice to parents: Always push your kids to their full potential, but make sure to try and check in with them every once in awhile to see how things are going.
My biggest regret: not getting involved soon enough.
