School Activity, Class or Teacher Impact
Since 3rd grade, Destination Imagination has helped me grow a lot as a person and at school. I have learned a lot of useful life skills and have competed at the Global level three times now. We placed first for our Instant Challenge and top in the world.
A Proud Moment
I am most proud of the friendships I have built because they bring me joy in my life.
Most Cherished High School Memory
My most cherished high school memory was definitely when I went to Globals for the first time. It was like a dream come true for me – one that I had been dreaming about since I was 9.
Overcoming Challenge & Lesson Learned
One of the biggest challenges I overcame was the end of sophomore year, when I was dealing with personal, school, and DI problems. I had several projects due and owed hundreds in fundraising for DI, but I overcame this and learned that with persistence, I get things done.
Advice for Underclassmen
Be yourself, wholeheartedly and don’t care about what the world thinks of you. Do what makes you happy, not what makes others happy. Live life for you.
My Inspiration
My grandma gives me inspiration because she has served as a big role model and guide for me in life.
Who Knew?
I like to collect coins and other money.
Gratitude Check
I’d like to thank everyone who has stayed real and has been there for me.
