Favorite Memory from High School: In my senior year, I made it into the All-Region Mixed Choir. We sang a song called “Soon Ah Will be Done” and it was such an amazing experience to be a part of making such a beautiful sound. I had chills the whole time we sang because of how wonderful it sounded. It will forever be one of my favorite memories.
