My Dad is in the army so I have moved all over throughout my life. First California, then Guam, Idaho, Hawaii, and I am currently in Kentucky. Each of these places has been exciting and new, and meeting lots of different people in each has been really cool. In my free time, I like to do a lot of different things. I like to read, hike, spend time with my family, coach gymnastics, do taekwondo, play basketball, etc…

 
Originally I was homeschooled by my mom until some of our friends introduced us to Williamsburg. Both of my older sisters began the program and a little later I began the intermediate program and loved it! I had spent time watching my older sisters go into classes and really wanted to do it myself so when my mom finally agreedI was elated. Later on, I started the High School program and all four years just sped by in a blink.

One of the biggest reasons I was able to pull through High School is because of my family and particularly my Mom. My Mom was pretty awesome. She would always hit me with questions right when I least expected it, “Why are you three assignments behind? Do I need to start worrying?” or the usual one of “why do you have that score?!?!?!?” She has helped me work hard and strive to get the best scores and grades I could.

​

I would like to mention how grateful I am to all of my mentors and teachers. They have helped prepare me for college and the future, they have taught me so much, how to work hard, how to be a leader, how to believe in myself. THANK YOU!!! You are all awesome!

​

Some of the advice I would leave for others is to enjoy it. It will all go by so fast you will not even notice so make sure you use this time to the fullest. Work as hard as you can because it will pay off, you will be happy you did even if you did not want to in the moment. Never give up, always strive to be your best, and work through any hardship because these things are what will help you learn and grow.
