Activities at MVAOCOU: I am involved in various activities, including Student Council, BPA, Broadcast and Media, and Choir. These activities have kept me involved in my school and community.
What will you miss most about being a Ram: I will miss being a Ram greatly. The part I will miss the most is the community. Being a Ram, you are constantly surrounded by people who are there to lift you up and help you succeed. Knowing that the teachers are there for YOU and YOUR education is appreciated. The Ram Fam is very accepting of new ideas and creations. The amount of love and support I got was unfathomable. I will forever miss my peers, teachers, administrators, and everyone who made an impact on my education and experience as a Ram.
A favorite memory from high school: A favorite memory from high school would be during my junior year. My friend Marley and I were sitting in Creative Writing class during silent reading time, taught by Mrs. Mallory, when I leaned over to Marley and shared a joke with her. This joke left us uncontrollably laughing. We tried to suppress our laughs by plugging our noses and holding our breath, but it did not work. We had the whole class staring at us, confused about what was funny. The joke that was said will never be shared again since it will cause another disruption.
Accomplishment you are most proud of: An accomplishment that I am most proud of is my turnaround from freshman year to now. During my freshman year, I was struggling with mental health issues. It led me to not pay attention in class, and I was easily distracted. This caused me to skip my classes. I had tanked my freshman year with all D-. I looked for help with therapy offered by the school. This helped me gain control of my emotions and mental status. During the second semester of sophomore year, I was able to sit in class and pay attention. I did a full 180 and became a better student and peer. My junior year was a blast. I had good grades, and I felt as if it went by smoothly. Now, I sit in my classes and remember the times I would struggle. I am proud of myself for overcoming depression and learning to cope with anxiety. Senior year is going by fast, and I do not want it to stop. If I could, I would stay in high school and complain about it forever.

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? If I could travel anywhere in the world, I would go to Greece.
When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? When I was little, I wanted to be a police officer and help the people of my community.
