Because: They have shown me what it means to live a life for Christ.
Lately, I have been reading: The Bible, and the book “Lead…for God’s Sake!”
My advice to parents: Listen to your kids, and be supportive when they succeed and also when they fail.
My biggest regret: I have no regrets, I’ve been blessed in my life so far.

If I were principal for a day: I would establish Bow Tie Tuesdays. Everyone would wear them, teachers and students.
Favorite school memory: Dancing before the basketball district semi-finals in the locker room with my teammates.
People who have been an inspiration to me include: Ann Vogel, Skitter Moss, and Renee Arnold
Because: Ann taught me that hard work and mindset determine your success. Skitter taught me to love basketball and gave me a place to grow under his tutorage. Finally, Mrs. Arnold has taught me that life is meant to be enjoyed, so don’t be so uptight.
Lately, I have been reading: The Orphan’s Tale by Pam Jenoff
My advice to parents: Give your children a chance to explain themselves. There is sometimes a method to our madness.
My biggest regret: Waiting til my senior year to learn that I have full control of my own life. The biggest obstacle in my path is myself.
Next year I will be: Attending university to study mathematics or chemistry. Hopefully, continuing my basketball career as well.
