What would you like to study in college and why? I would one day like to study sports management. This would allow me to coach young people and show them how much fun sports can be. I would be able to pass on my knowledge, experiences and gift from God to other people.

What do you like to do for fun? Since most of my days are filled with many sports practices and homework I don’t have that much free time, but when I do I really enjoy the outdoors i.e. swimming, running, and biking. On days that I can’t go outside I like to play with my sisters. I also fill my free time playing with my dog Brody.

What is your favorite thing about your school? One of the many great things here at Saint Margaret Mary is the smaller student body. This may sound a little weird, but because of how small our classes are I have gotten to know all of my classmates and teachers on a personal level. I also love having P.E. every week twice a week. One of the best things here at S.M.M is that we go to Church on a weekly basis. We are very lucky to be able to take learning time and dedicate it to our faith. Next fall, I will be attending Winter Park High School as a freshman.
