What is the charity you chose to represent?
The charity I chose is Angelina’s Stars (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). I chose this charity because Angelina Cava is a close family friend that is 11 years old and struggles everyday with Type 1 Diabetes. There is currently no cure for T1D but the money will go toward research and easier ways to help people who struggle with this terrible disease.

What teacher or faculty member has made the biggest impact on your high school career?
Mrs. Gallaher has defiantly made a huge impact on my life. She is very underappreciated and most will not get to have her because there are a lot of gym teachers. She is very fun to have and you can talk to her about anything not even having to do with school. She shows you respect and is a great person to know. She pushes you to do your best and always see the positive in things when you might not. She is a great teacher and has helped me throughout my school years.
Who in your life has had the biggest influence on you?
Not only my parents who I look up to and are always there for me but my friends. My friends support me and are very honest and real with me. Being that I spend most of the day with my friends they influence me the most. They push me to do great things and help me when times are hard. No matter if we fight or are fine they always have my back and I will always have theirs.

I cannot live without my friends I do everything with them and they are the best people to be around. We have so much fun every day I make time to spend time with them even if it is just for 10 minutes I am there and we will hangout I love my group of friends (especially ANGELICA CARROLL <3)
