WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS?
“Always put yourself first and your own health and surround yourself with people who make you better.”
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AFTER YOU GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL?
“My plans after high school is to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and study Biology to become a doctor. My dad’s a doctor and he’s been the biggest inspiration in my life and I want to be just like him. North Carolina was a place I fell in love with. I love the campus, the environment and I love sports and their basketball team is pretty good so I look forward to watching those games. I’ve already been to the Michael Jordan Museum but being able to camp out for a Duke-UNC game is something I’m looking forward to. Also being part of the student section because I have a lot of energy all the time.”
