Beyond Covid:

Dealing with COVID has been a struggle for everybody and everybody has done different things to deal with it.

Beyond Covid:

Going through this pandemic was at first very upsetting because we weren’t able to do things we would normally do. for instance, going to school and seeing friends. but after a couple of months this summer turned out to be one of the best summers. my friends and i always found new ways to make everything better and explore new places. Covid has impacted my future by making me step out of my comfort zone and to push me to connect more with my friends, old friends, strangers, and God. i feel like going through this pandemic has given me a better understanding to not take the time with your friends and family for granted because you never know when something could happen or changes could be made. overall, i believe i have become a stronger person and chose not to be taken down by this unsettling time.

What is something a lot of people may not know about you?:

I don’t shoulder things as well as people think.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Most likely starting a family or traveling.

Beyond Covid:

Going through covid this year allowed me to grow as a person and make better decisions for myself now and in the future.

I’ll always remember how we’d get coffee and 5 hour energies before every game just so we would be crazy and have as much fun as we could.

Is there anyone who has made a big impact on your life and why?

My brother Braxton has made a big impact on my life because he tells me something new i need to hear everyday. I inspire to be like him since he’s always pushing people to be better as he also looks for people that will do the same for him.

I also enjoyed making memories with my amazing cheer teammates, who are also my best friends. My absolute favorite memory would have to be flying on Senior Night during a football game.

Is there anyone who has made a big impact on your life and why?

The biggest impact on my life is my mom. She is an amazing person and she is so incredibly strong. She is the perfect example of who I want to be as a person. She is so kind hearted and will do anything to make me or my 3 other siblings happy. She dropped everything to raise my family and if she didn't, I wouldn't be anywhere near the person I am today. She inspires me so much and I am so thankful to have her as my mom and my built in best friend.

The pandemic was hard for me, as it was for many other seniors, in the sense that my school year was dramatically altered and so many events, like music performances, were cancelled or held virtually.

My favorite high school memory is performing with the marching band as a drum major at semifinals my junior year. This was my last performance with the band under normal competition circumstances. Even though we didn’t make it to state that year for the first time in forever, the bus ride home was so emotional it really was a great bonding experience.
