Who is your hero, if you have one, and why? My Grandpa Stewart is my hero. He always tried to show me that I am capable of so much and that has made me who I am today.
Tell of a most memorable experience that relates to school, personal interests or a hobby: Last year during softball season we lost in our sections game and we were saying our goodbyes to all the seniors. A lot of those girls were like big sisters and role models to me, so it was hard to say goodbye.
How do you demonstrate leadership? I always try to include everybody because I know what it feels like to not fit in and it’s scary. Usually if people see you doing well they will try to as well.
How do you approach academics to achieve success? I think about the big picture and where I want to be and this helps me keep trying my best. It will all pay off in the long run.
Why do you think you won this award? I think I won this award because I’ve worked really hard in school to be where I am today.
What does it mean to you? It gives me reassurance that my work isn’t going unnoticed. It gives me a motivation to keep working.
