Q: Please tell our readers about yourself.
A: I am 16 years old. I play club volleyball at United. I’ve been playing for six years and absolutely love it. I love hanging out with my friends and going shopping.
Q: What extracurricular activities do you participate in at VHHS?
A: At VHHS, I’m in a club called Rebel Up outreach. It is such a fun club where we hang out with kids with disabilities; everyone is so sweet and loving that they all become our best friends. We always have fun little parties to go to for holidays. … It’s such a fun time to hang out with everyone and get to know each and every one of them.
Q: Who is your role model and why?
A: My role model is my dad. He shows what it means to be dedicated and a hard worker. He’s always there for me and my siblings and shows up no matter what. I look up to him for everything.
Q: What is something that most people do not know about you?
A: I would say most people don’t know that I’m a Michigan fan, which is pretty odd to be down here in the South. The majority of my family is from Michigan, so I have always grown up being one.
Q: What advice would you give students who are new to VHHS?
A: Be kind to everyone. You truly never know what anyone’s going through, and you don’t want to be the person to make their day worse. I would also say to get involved with the school by doing a club, sport, choir, band — literally anything. Everyone is so welcoming, so you wouldn’t regret it.
Q: What are your plans for after high school?
A: After high school, I want to attend college at Auburn University. I want to either be a special education teacher or an event planner like my dad.
