Parents: Kevin and Tiffany Winter
Hometown: Morley, Missouri (lives in Oran, Missouri)
Post-graduation plans: I start Aug. 17 at Coastal Carolina University. They've accepted me into their honors program, majoring in marine biology.
High-school activities: I was in just about every club they offered: Future Business Leaders of America; Beta Club; Family, Career and Community Leaders of America; baseball; and more.
Favorite high-school experience: Probably the last game of baseball I played with my team. ... We had the game of our lives.
Biggest role model: It's got to be my parents. They were right by my side through everything I ever wanted to do. Every goal I set, they helped me achieve it.
Advice to underclassmen: Enjoy it. Don't stress as much as everyone usually does. High school is a fun experience if you do it right.
Three words for the entire high-school experience: Chaotic, bonding, humbling.
