What's your favorite part of being a student at Carroll?
The people here are so open with each other and families grow together daily.
What should school “do” for you?
I feel like school should be a safe and relaxing place for all people. Even though it can cause a lot of stress, it could lead to something nice. Also, I feel like it should have the best interest in us as a community and have a well-rounded mindset for kids that need help with personal or educational growth.
What’s a lesson you learned when you overcame a difficult obstacle?
Never give up on your hopes and dreams because if God challenges you with something, it only means he has something better for you at the end.
What’s your biggest dream in life?
To be successful and make my parents proud of all my accomplishments.
How do you like spending your free time?
I like to spend my free time hanging out around friends and family. If I'm not with them, then I'm doing something active, like going to the gym.

Don't stop trying and fighting for things you want to accomplish because nothing is impossible or too hard if you try.
