Sterlington High School
Future Plans: After I graduate high school, I plan to major in sociology and possibly minor in human development and family sciences. Eventually, I would also like to acquire my masters degree with that I have the ability to do more.

This is why one of my main goals is to become a social worker after college. There is so much I want to do for our community, and I do not want to stop at social work alone.
Favorite Memory from High School: Before school started in August, my entire senior class had a week where we all spent time together. I truly feel like the entire week brought everyone much closer. It was a good start to our last year of high school, definitely my favorite.
