Who are your favorite teachers and why?
From the start, I’ve had a great amount of support from my teachers but my favorites include Ms.Vail, Mrs.Davis, and Mr. Cassady but if we’re talking out of all…. from junior high, Mr. Zimmerman. Even though he wasn’t my teacher for a whole class semester, he always believed in me and made my day 10 times better. He was just one of those people that was born to teach. He gets how tough and trying school can get and always manages to put a smile on a student’s face.

What’s something people don’t worry about but really should?
Your mindset – if you want to do something, just do it. Ignore the doubt in yourself and from others. You’re the only one who decides if you can’t do it or as a wise person says “it’s that you can’t do it.. yet.”
