“My favorite out of all the things I was able to do in high school was being a leader among a lot of the youth. We did orientations for all the freshmen that were coming in every year. And the first day of school, all the freshmen already knew my name and I was able to help them out throughout the whole thing. That was a big deal for me. That was the biggest highlight of my high school experience. Because it allows you to see and help everybody else with their problems and you would learn from people when you’re helping them.”
