What’s your favorite memory of high school? My favorite memory of high school is probably our choir trip to Costa Rica last year. It was really, really fun – everything about it was perfect. We went for a week and afterwards I stayed with my cousin for another week.

Who is your role model? Ari Fry – she’s my youth group leader at church. She’s really cool; she’s gone through a lot of stuff, but she still works with us and helps us.
