At ALA, we’ve been together since sixth grade so it was nice to make new friends. Some of my best friendships have come from meeting new people playing sports.”

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS?

“Keep a mindset of keep pushing through. When things get hard you just have to keep going and keep doing it. If you keep going and others don’t you will go further in life than they will.”

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AFTER YOU GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL?
