Q: How did high school change who you thought you were—and what moment made you realize that change?

A: “What I want people to remember about me is how I always look at the best parts of any moment, but always remember to stay realistic and down-to-earth at the same time.That’s just because I want people to think realistically, but I also don’t want people to look too far down, like too deep into the rabbit hole and overthink stuff. I think something I learned the hard way in high school was how much I actually needed to study for my classes because for some of my classes I did slack off a bit, but in the end I did realize I learned my proper way of studying and like the way I prefer to study is through doing practice problems and just re-running concepts every once in a while.”
