Career Goal: I’m not yet sure what my career path will be, but I plan to attend UCA, where I hope to pursue my two favorite studies—English and art. I’d like to major in English and minor in art, and hopefully, I’ll find a career that lets me incorporate my knowledge and skill in both of these areas.

Favorite Memory from High School: One of my favorite memories from high school was from the senior trip. We arrived in New York City after midnight and visited the top of the Empire State Building in the wee hours of the morning. We were all exhausted, but we made it to the top. I’ll always remember the time I spent with my best friends gazing out over the twinkling lights of New York City.

Favorite Quote: “I wanted you to see what real courage is ... It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.” –from “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee
