What are your plans after high school? To go to cosmetology school, but I want to major in business, maybe start going to Gavilan College.
Favorite high school memory: Hanging out with my friends.
What was your biggest challenge in high school? Getting to school on time – it’s hard waking up early in the mornings. I have anxiety, so I had trouble sleeping at night.
Extracurriculars: None.

What’s your dream career? I want to open my own salon or manage a company.
