Favorite Memories - Participating in the Diversity Assembly as a sophomore and talking to the entire school about being able to do many things even in a wheelchair. Going to football games with friends and competing in track. Watching the 4x800 team last season win at the state meet. I was able to compete in new events and improved my times at most of the meets. I also enjoyed team activities like team dinners and yoga.
Advice to Underclassmen - “Enjoy your moments in high school with your friends and make new friends because it will go by fast.”
