To look back at my growth throughout high school you see how fast times goes, how far you’ve come and the importance of cherishing every moment. I look back and give gratitude to the people who shaped me. Not only that but the bitter sweetness of senior season, but I’m also excited about what’s next in my journey.

Future Plans? (college, major, career, etc.)
I will be attending the UW-Eau-Claire for basketball and I will be majoring in business.
