If I were principal for a day: I would let everyone bring their pet to school.
Favorite school memory: The fashion show my French class did or playing ultimate frisbee with my cross country team.
People who have been an inspiration to me: My sister Abbi and Mrs. Mount.
Lately I’ve been reading: The Awakening by Kate Chopin.
My advice to parents: Let your kids try new things even if they’re not the best at it. It’s OK for them to do an activity for fun and not always be perfect.
My biggest regret: Not joining the swim team.
Next year: I will be attending Ohio University to major in pre-physical therapy.
