will undoubtedly have a

Why did you run for
ASB? As a freshman, I was
lucky to get into the ASB
leadership class. I enjoyed it
so much that I've continued
to take a leadership class
every semester since
that time. I've also had
the opportunity to be on
Freshman and Sophomore
Class Councils and then on
ASB this year. It just seemed
like the natural thing to do.
What are other out-of
school activities in which
you participate? The past
three years at WLHS, my
life has been filled with
leadership/ASB activities
and obligations, basketball
and church activities. I plan
to get a job in a few weeks.
If you had to give anyone a
piece of advice, what would
it be? Stand up for what
you believe in. Follow your
dreams and never give up.
In your opinion, what
makes you a good leader?
I stand behind what I
believe. I'm willing to listen
to the input of others, and
I'm not afraid to speak up
when decisions are needed.
