One of the first places I drove was my Sister's house.
Getting my first car made me feel excited and gave me more freedoms. -
Sophomore Prom

The night was filled with dancing, music, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

That day became a beautiful marker in the story of who I am becoming. -
Moving to a new high school
In August 2024, I transferred from Dakota to LHNW.
The move was due to religious reasons and issues with the people at my old school.
At first, adjusting to a new environment and meeting new people was a bit challenging.
Over time, I found my place and started to feel more comfortable and connected.
Changing high schools became a turning point that helped me grow both socially and academically. -
Recast in the play
I was originally cast as Mr. Boddy in Clue on 9/6/24.

I worked hard to learn my new role by learning all my lines.
In the end, this performance taught me everything happens for a reason and helped me grow as an actor. -
The Death Of a Loved One
In September 2025, my grandfather passed away.
He was 81 years old and meant a lot to me because I was one of his caretakers.
When I found out, I felt like I knew it happened once I walked downstairs.
One thing I remember most about him is how he helped take care of me when I was younger.
Since his passing, I’ve been coping by remembering the good times before he got sick. -
My first move
I will be moving in Summer 2025 to a new house in Oxford, MI.
I'm moving because my childhood home no longer accommodates our needs as a family.
Right now, I feel nervous about the move.
I'm most looking forward to having my friends and family over due to the expanded area.
I think the biggest challenge will be navigating where everything is in a new city.
