Most underappreciated thing about high school: Seeing my friends every day and the memories I’ve made to last a lifetime.

Quarantine activities: I have been doing many chores around the house. I love to clean. I’ve also started learning a lot more recipes to cook and things to bake. On my most motivated days, I do all my homework and other productive things. On my least motivated days, I am usually watching Hulu or Netflix.

What I've been watching in quarantine: I just started re-watching “Vampire Diaries” with my mom, but I’ve also been watching a lot more Bollywood movies recently.

What part of the ACHS Music Program has had the most impact on you and why? Marching Band because of all the rehearsals and performances. It taught me a lot about commitment and time management throughout the years.

What would you say to your freshman self about the Music program if you could? I would tell myself not to stress out too much because everything would work out in the end.
