Goals & Aspirations: “I intend to graduate from high school with an Advanced Honors Diploma. I also strongly seek to attend a respectable out-of-state college and earn a degree in Humanities and/or Social Sciences. I aspire to then attain a career that enables me to play a distinguished role in society.”
Accomplishments Most Proud Of: “I am so proud of my high school tennis team. They started out as a band of shy beginners; as their captain, I avidly worked with them throughout the season, and they have all grown so much in terms of skill and confidence.”
Lesley Looks Up To: “Captain James T. Kirk is my absolute hero. He is highly intelligent, extraordinarily versatile, exceedingly brave, and remarkably steadfast in his moral code. He always puts the crew first, and he is an outstanding leader.”
