What advice would you give to younger students? If I were to advise younger students, it would be to focus on school. As you get older, the more you realize that the stuff you are being taught is important. School may get stressful but you have to realize that in a couple of years, it will all be over, and you will want to go back to when you were still in high school. High school does go by fast, and you may want to get out of there as soon as possible but you are going to want to go back when you get older. As you are still in high school, take in every little bit of it that you can; it is a good memory you will be able to look back on one day.

When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? When I was little, I had always wanted to be a vet and work with animals because of the love that I have for them.
