What is your favorite memory of high school?  My senior year in basketball I forgot spandex to the away game against Osmond and told the team before the game that I hoped no one pulled my shorts down—during a rebound, a girls foot got caught on my shorts, and as she went down, so did my shorts…their whole student section saw my butt.

What advice can you offer underclassmen? Everyone says it, but high school really does fly by. Get involved, one of my regrets is not trying more of the activities offered to us—you’ll have to manage your time more, but the memories and friends you’ll make will be worth it. (It also looks REALLY good on scholarships) 

​What are your future plans and where do you hope to be in five years?  Wayne State College – UNMC-Nursing Campus (RHOP); I hope to be employed as an RN in a local hospital.
