FAVORITE MEMORY FROM HIGH SCHOOL
I loved having Raiza, a Chilean exchange student, come stay with my family and me for two weeks this past year. It was so cool to try different traditional Chilean dishes, and it was fascinating to be able to hear all about her culture and family back home.
THE TEACHER WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE
Mrs. Beard, my AP U.S. Government, AP Seminar, and AP Research teacher, inspired a love of politics and international current events in me.
