What are your plans after graduation?
- I plan to major in electrical engineering at BCIT.
What are you most proud of during your high school years?
- I would say I'm probably most proud of winning the Top Student Award in Grade 11, as well making friends with some pretty cool people throughout high school.
What would you change about your high school years?
- If I could go back and change something, I would try to be less introverted, talk to more people at school and make more friends, and also maybe join some clubs.
What does being a valedictorian mean to you?
- To me, being a valedictorian means you represent everyone in the graduating class to the best of your abilities.
What advice do you have for the next graduation class?
- Doing well in school is important, but making good memories is also important. High school is a one time thing, so don't waste it. Also don't put off doing your grad quote until the last minute.
