What's your favorite part of being a student at Carroll?
My favorite part of being a student at Carroll is having teachers who support me outside of the classroom by attending sporting and fine arts events.
What should school “do” for you?
School should be a safe place where you can explore who and what you want to be without judgment.
What’s a lesson you learned when you overcame a difficult obstacle?
I learned the importance of not letting others define who you are, and above all, I learned that you need to do what makes you happy.
What’s your biggest dream in life?
My biggest dream is to conquer the lesson above: to be at peace with myself and not value others' opinions so much that I lose focus on my own. I also dream of being a judge on a cooking show, like Chopped, even though I lack culinary expertise.
How do you like spending your free time?
When I have free time, I like playing video games with my family, volunteering at 4 Paws for Ability, and playing the violin.
