Goals & Aspirations: “I would like to graduate high school with high honors and the AP seal. I want to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In the future I want to be a successful physical therapist with a beautiful wife and a bunch of kids.”

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? “I see myself in my living room with my kids climbing all over me.”

Braxton is Successful Because: “I am constantly striving to better myself and those around me. I have always taken a rigorous course schedule and take my education seriously. I challenge myself to see the good in others, to not judge them and serve them as best as I can. I want others to be as happy as I am. I”d feel ungrateful not to try to share this feeling.”

Part of the Solution: “Youths want to be older, rush into life without thinking, get into serious relationships and make choices we’re not ready for yet. I can do my part by trying to be an example. I love it when I can see someone happy because I said hello to them in the hallway or opened the door for them. I truly believe little things can make a difference.”
