One of her favorite high school memories:  “My first time leading my band onto the football field for competition.  It was very overwhelming, but knowing I was at the head of all that was a very good feeling.”

The greatest challenge facing high school graduates:  “All the decision that have to be made, like what college to attend and what classes to take.  Knowing that they will affect your future, the pressure is quite intense.”

About the Class of 2011:  “We do have our own opinions.  There are people my age who do have an understanding of what is going on in our country and our state.  Our opinions do matter.”
