OTHER ACTIVITIES, HOBBIES: I am in the marching band, concert band, jazz band, Beta Club, National Honor Society, and Athletic committee. I am very involved in my church. I am on the praise and worship team, and I volunteer for the nursery.
PICK ONE — PLAY YOUR SPORT ONE LAST TIME, ATTEND PROM OR HAVE A GRADUATION CEREMONY: I would have to choose a graduation ceremony. From the moment you start school at the age of 5 or 6, the one thing you look forward to is having a graduation ceremony your senior year. I would love to do the other two, but I am going to have to say graduation.
