What is your most vivid high school memory?
My ninth grade pep rally is my most vivid high school memory. I remember walking into the high school gymnasium with my school band. Maroon and white balloons and streamers decorated the entire room, and ornate class posters were hung all over the walls. I stood on the bleachers and played the flute with the band, and I watched the show put on by the sports and extracurricular clubs. I was amazed by the great show of pride and school spirit put forth by the student body, and I was glad to be a part of it.

What will you miss most about your high school days?
I will miss the general high school experience: meeting new people, forming lasting friendships, taking challenging courses, joining several extracurricular activities, and so on and so forth. You only experience high school once, so you should cherish the four years you have there.

People would be surprised to learn that I have had perfect attendance in school since the first grade.

If you could write a letter to your ninth grade self, what advice would you give?
If I could write a letter to my ninth-grade self, I would advise myself not to be so caught up with grades and to take in and absorb every moment of high school. After all, four years fly by very quickly.
