Advice to freshman: “Yay, you have now leveled up to ‘High School Freshie!’ Just kidding, I know it may be new and scary being at the bottom of the chain again, but with the right decisions, you’ll be at very top in no time! Just because you’re ‘only’ a freshman does not mean you slack off. Always take a challenge and work hard, but don’t overburden yourself — find a balance! Yes, that also means you might not be in a class with your best friends. And don’t procrastinate. Start making it a habit to have an organized schedule for homework; you’ll thank yourself for it! With all that said, just remember to have fun! The next four years will come and go very, very quickly.”
Favorite high school memory: My best friends and I went on a field trip and got lost in the mall for about a good half hour. It may not sound like a ‘favorite’ memory to others, but it was actually pretty funny. You just had to be there.
Proudest high school moment: It would be either finding out that I was valedictorian for the first time or recently winning the math and science award at my school’s ceremony.
If I had $10 million: I would save and invest some of it (shoutout to Ms. Funderburke’s personal finance class), and I would become the personal Oprah to my friends and family. (You get a car! You get a car, and you get a car!)

If I had $10 million dollars: I would pay for mine and my brother’s college tuition, donate to Relay for Life and put the rest in savings.
