If I were principal for the day…
I would call in a sub for myself.
 
Favorite school memory…
Flipping upside down and playing a solo on my tenor drums for the first time during Sophomore year.
 
People who have been an inspiration to me...
My parents, grandparents, Kelly Kauffman, Eric Kauffman, Miss Taylor, Mr. McGill, Mrs. Lentz, and Mr. Huber.

Lately I have been reading...
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, along with lots of sheet music.

My advice to parents...
Remember who you are and make wise choices.

My biggest regret...
All of my actions and choices have led me to where I am today, and I am proud of who I have become, so I do not have any regrets.

Most embarrassing moment…
Sixth grade through Freshman year.
 
Next year I will be...
Attending college and studying in a field within the creative arts.
