I grew up in Republic, Michigan, surrounded with the rural midwest basics; a farm and woods. Eventually, I found myself in Marquette, Michigan, during a time in my life when it was time to take charge and decide what I wanted my future to be: the beginning of high school. I started out as a shy, private individual, and after training myself to be more responsive to others and make that first step needed to ensure the satisfaction of everybody, I found myself as the bright optimistic person I am today.
I have received membership in my high school's honor roll for the three years I have completed there, as well as been a member of the National Honor Society my junior and senior year.
