How have SAISD schools shaped you into the person you are today?
Throughout my years in SAISD schools, I've never felt that I couldn't find someone I could relate with on different levels, whether it our ethnicity, beliefs, or our financial situations and that is because of diversity. I've been grateful to be surrounded by a bunch of people from different backgrounds because it has allowed me to grow as a person and realize that even though we all go through different adversaries that we can still form relationships.
What’s the greatest challenge you’ve overcome during your education, and how did you overcome it?
The greatest challenge I have overcome during my education so far is my confidence. I used to think and still do at times that I'm not worthy of the recognition that I've been given, but I was given recognition because of the work I've put in. Even though, I still haven't overcome it completely, I am improving and am better than I once was.
As a leader of the Class of 2025, what is your hope for the class as they move on to the next chapter of their lives?
When thinking of the next chapter of my life, I get full of anxiety because it's so scary thinking that I very soon will have to step into it. I want everyone to accomplish their goals and become better, if not the best versions of themselves. I truly hope the class of 2025 can grow and find themselves, no matter what life throws at them.
