What do you consider as traits that make someone a good citizen?Being kind, showing support, having a good attitude, willing to help others, and character.

Who has inspired you to be a good citizen?My family, they have taught me everything I need to know and they inspire me to just be a good person. 

What have you done to make the school community a better place?I try to participate in activities when I have time. I am part of the honor guard for the law enforcement program in the vocational center. There, we participate in Veterans Day and other special occasions. In the program, we also do a morning ceremony and read Officer Downs and Oath of Honor, to honor those who are no longer with us.

Why is volunteerism important?It’s important because it helps others in many ways. Some don’t have the resources or time for some things and by people stepping up and doing something about it makes a difference. 

In the future, what do you see yourself doing to make the world a better place?Well, I want to become a Game Warden to protect and preserve wildlife, so that generations from now people can still enjoy the great outdoors.
