Best advice for high school students - It’s very cliche, but branch out and step out of your comfort zone. As someone who has been involved in a lot over the years, it only offers benefits.

But at the end of the day, being truly authentic to yourself while exploring your hobbies is important to enjoy high school.

Best memory of BCS - Putting the show “to bed” after the last night of The Addams Family Musical. It was such an emotional night, but there was so much love and gratitude just pouring out of us, particularly the seniors. It was truly a night I will never forget.

Best advice for high school students - Try and get to know everyone. You really never know who your best friends might end up being, and sometimes your best relationships will be those “hidden gems” that you never saw coming. And as Taylor Swift said, “Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.”
