Role model: I would have to say my mom. Ever since I was young, she instilled in me a "never-give-up" attitude. She supports me and always pushes me that extra mile, and for that, I am so thankful.

Advice to underclassmen: My advice for the underclassmen would be to not take a single day for granted! Stay involved, study hard, and make memories that will last a lifetime. Also, start filling out scholarships as soon as you can!

Three words for the entire high-school experience: Friendship, knowledge, dedication.
