Favorite class and teacher: My favorite class was junior honors English. I loved the projects and the challenges I experienced. The class gave me a chance to be creative and explore my opinions. My favorite teacher is Ms. Jan Priddy, who taught junior honors English. Without her, I wouldnt be as prepared for college as I am now. Thank you Ms. Priddy.

What will you remember most? I will remember that I came from a small high school in a coastal Oregon town. I will always remember that I was blessed to be in a school where I recognized everyone in my class, and my teachers knew exactly who I was. I think that I took Seaside High School for granted, and I will miss this school. I am glad that Im graduating from Seaside, and I wouldnt wish to be from any other high school.

Advice for success: Remember that you can always change your mind. I was once told that the average adult changes careers seven times in their lifetime. For me, it was liberating to know that whatever I do now is not something that I have to do for the rest of my life. We are all free to live the way we want to, and we just have to work hard to do what makes us happy.
