“A quote my dad always tells me is to tackle the hardest things first, even if I don’t want to, and
even if no one is watching. My dad has always been a huge influence in my life because he
always teaches me and tells me how to act. This mindset has really helped me reach my goals.
I want to be a Broker for real estate. Him being such a big influence on me has really helped me
prepare and take classes for becoming a broker. My dad’s influence has also helped me stay
active at FHS. I am involved in the FHS cross country team, which I love because it keeps me in
shape and pushes me to be the best that I can be. Being part of the team has really taught me a
lot. I really liked my time in high school so far, but I still miss how I used to go to Mass at St.
Mary’s every Thursday. Looking back, I wish I would have tried harder in my schoolwork last
year to be more prepared for this year, but I am going to try to make the most of my time left in
high school and continue to move toward my goals.
