“Something that I find important is doing my best at everything I can.  This includes friendships, academics, and sports.  I think it is important to put in the effort necessary to be successful. Your actions are what define you as a person. So, if you put your best foot forward, you never have to question if you could have done better because you did your best the first time.  Tennis regionals has been on my mind a lot recently because my partner, Brady Hanna, and I have a good shot at going to state and placing well.  We are the number-one team in the district, but state will be a fight.  I am excited for it.  Some advice I would give to someone would be to not be afraid to try new things.  If you think you want to do something, try it.  You may or may not like it, but you will never know if you don’t try.  You want to be able to look back and know you did your best at everything you could.”
