In which extracurricular activities have you participated?
I was involved in the LEAP program.
What are your plans after graduation?
I plan to move to Chicago and work as a master mechanic alongside my uncle while attending trade school. I hope to learn about investments and business management to start my own business one day.
Which teacher has made the most significant impact on your life and how?
It is hard to name just one because there are too many teachers who have impacted my life. Any teacher that I felt I could be open with as far as my personal life goes, made a huge impact on me because they had a better understanding of where I truly needed help and a better understanding of why I may have bad days. They truly helped me and supported me. I remember some teachers even letting me cry in their arms. I appreciate all the advice my teachers gave me during school.
What is the best advice you could give to underclassmen?
Accept people's help. Don't follow the crowd and get mixed into things that you wouldn't do on your own. Respect yourself and others so you can earn the respect everyone deserves. Always stay focused on the end goal after high school. Participate in school activities as much as you can. You'd be surprised by the wisdom some of the peers around you hold.
What do you want people to know about the school district? #whywalton
#Whywalton? Because the staff in Walton County showed me that they'd go above and beyond to help someone. Not only will they support their students, but they will also help families. I've experienced it. I know what it's like to be put down by others, but you won't really find that here. They care and treat you like a human. Here you'll find who you are seeking to be in life.
