Because: They all overcame challenges to get where they are and achieve in life.

Lately, I have been reading: I have been reading The Forgotten 500, as it is a requirement for one of my classes. It is a really good book.

My advice to parents: Check in on your kids often and support them through whatever they need. High school and all the activities it involves is overwhelming at times, kids need that support.

My biggest regret: Not trying out for Show Choir or musical freshman year.

Next year I will be: Taking a gap year to go to Disciple Training in Costa Rica and then serve on an overseas mission trip either in Thailand or Germany.
