If I were principal for a day:   If I were principal for a day, I would give students the opportunity to go in and read books to the elementary school students.

Favorite school memory: My favorite school memory is becoming an FFA officer and getting to know the other officers on a more personal level.

People who have been an inspiration to me include: Lorali Klopfenstein has been an inspiration to me because of her dedication to music as well as being involved in church and other outside activities.

Lately, I have been reading: “The Wild Robot" by Peter Brown, that I read to my second-grade students.

My advice to parents: Be patient and allow your child to make mistakes. Mistakes are the best way to learn and sometimes they have to make them.

My biggest regret: My biggest regret is not doing more activities or not starting some of my activities until later in my school career.

Next year: Next year I will be studying Early Childhood Education at OSU Lima.
