Accomplishments Most Proud Of: “One accomplishment that I am fairly proud of is when my high school soccer team and club soccer team each won state in the same year. I am proud to have been a part of all the hard work it took through the seasons to accomplish this.”
Cassidy Looks Up To: “Everyone, really; I am not very tall. On a serious note, though, I look up to my mother. She has always been there for me and had my back. My mom has instilled many great values in me that I cherish greatly. I hope that when I have a family of my own that I can be as good a mom as she has been for me.”
Part of the Solution: “A key issue facing young adults today is bullying. It is an unfortunate part of high school which I have experienced myself but no one should ever have to. I would help to minimize bullying by being kind to my fellow classmates and standing up to those being picked on. Everyone should be doing these things anyway so that high school can be a better experience for all kids.”
