  • I was part of the varsity swim team, national honor society, committee for the class of 2021, student council, peer leadership committee, and I did costumes for the school play. Being part of the Class of 2021 Committee was my favorite because I got to meet with the student government for my class, and my fellow classmates to plan fun activities and fundraisers to be able to fund different activities such as our prom!
