MHS highlight: I hope it hasn’t happened yet.

What you want people to know about you: Nothing really. Right now, everyone I know is acquainted with me on the level I’d prefer.

Career goals? Something in the realm of diplomacy or peacekeeping.

Something about the world that concerns you: People are afraid and alone, most of us have forgotten how to feel empathy, if at any point we were truly capable of doing so. 

Something about the world that inspires you: Unprovoked acts of kindness.

The quote that means a lot to you and why:  “Power and perfection are overrated, I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love.”- Iroh (See above answers for explanation)

Advice to help other students succeed: If things seem hard, that’s because they’re supposed to. Just because high school is the first step doesn’t mean it’s easy. You have to recognize that this is just the start, and if you let it roll over you, you’ve already lost. Keep your chin up, find the right people to help you get through it, and keep going. It’ll be worth it in the end.
