Something important life has taught you: Your life is only as good as you make it and, the more importance you put on the lives of others, the better your own life will be.

Something your parents always told you: “Clean your room!”
Person you admire the most and why: My dad, because he always made sure I understood why, and he never said ,“Because I said so,” and was always a great example of how I should be.
Toughest challenge you have had to face this year: My grandmother passed away. She was the glue in my family and a wonderful, loving woman. She will always be a part of my life.
