FAVORITE MEMORY FROM HIGH SCHOOL
My favorite memory from high school is the first time that I got to work the sound for my school's theater program with my best friend. Charity and I had to learn how to use the sound board for weeks before we were allowed to work for a choir concert.
THE TEACHER WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE
A teacher who has made a difference in my life is Mr. Patrick Laxson. When I first started school at Mills, he immediately saw how intelligent I am and invited me to debate for the forensics team and I qualified for state.
