Who had the biggest impact on your experience in high school, and what would you like them to know?

My entire marching band community had the biggest impact on my high school experience. Through rehearsals, performances, and everything in between, they helped me grow as a musician and a better leader. I would like them to know how grateful I am for them, as they made high school so much more meaningful and memorable for me.

------------------------------------
How do you feel about graduating?

Graduating feels surreal in the best way, like I’m standing right at the edge of something new I’ve been working toward for years. I’m proud of the growth I’ve experienced, and I feel excited about everything ahead in college and beyond. There’s a sense that I’ve grown into myself during high school, and now I’m ready to take that forward into something new.

If you could give a shout out to a member of the faculty or staff at a Chesapeake Public School, who would it be and what would you say?

I appreciate the teaching and personality of Mr. Wasinger (or Was) in AP Euro. Even though I had him freshmen year, he has left a lasting impression on my high school career. Every lecture was interesting and thought out, and he helped everyone to the best of his ability. Despite his class being rigorous, he made the content easy to understand.

------------------------------------
What did you accomplish in high school that you are most proud of?

I am proud of the significant time commitment I made to the marching band as color guard captain. I was able to be there for my team at every football game, competition, and more. Balancing that with school is exhausting.
