Something in the world I'd like to change: Sickness. So many of my family members have passed away from cancer or some other illness. Also with it being my senior year and COVID-19 changing the way we think about graduation, I would do anything to change that.

Favorite high school moment: Every day in the lab is another great high school moment. We all had so much fun with Mrs.Ritz.

Best thing about high school: Creating friendships with so many new people at CTC. Deciding to follow my career and leave my homeschool was the best thing I could have done.
