Travelling for pictures is also a struggle sometimes because I dont have my license yet, but that’s more of a legal thing.”

Q: Is there anyone on the yearbook staff who inspires you or any who you look up to?

A: “ I think everyone inspires me, but I’d have to say Addi and Colby. They’re both so hardworking, and try their best to help everyone. I appreciate Colby a lot because he makes sure we also have fun and not just stress over pages all the time.
