What is your favorite class? French. It is a fun class and everyone in it is great.

What is your toughest class? Physics. There are a lot of equations.

How do you balance your class work and your extracurricular activities? I know what I have to do and when I need to have it done, which helps me plan ahead so when the time comes, I don’t become overwhelmed.

What is the biggest challenge high school students face today? A large majority of high schools students feel they need to fit in with a certain group and may do anything to achieve that, often destroying their true self in the process.

Who has inspired you educationally? No one has really inspired me when it comes to education. I have been pushed to do the best I can and don’t give up by my entire family, but that is about it.
