Leadership Experience- “In JROTC I could excel in my leadership abilities because both chiefs wanted everyone to have a chance to show they can be the best citizen in ottumwa. I excelled because I’m bossy and stern when I talk.”
Advice to the Underclassmen- “Don’t procrastinate.” and “Always be honest with yourself when you really need help.”
