Goals & Aspirations: “My goal for this year is to have a memorable and successful senior year. I want to make this the best year yet! My goal for the future is to graduate from college with a degree in medicine and then start my residency at a hospital.”
Shawn Looks Up To: “I look up to my dad, because he can solve any problem thrown at him. He never gives up on anything and is always encouraging others to do their best.”
Accomplishments Most Proud Of: “My proudest accomplishment is becoming Student Body President. It took a lot of work and time, but I have made amazing memories that I will never forget!”
Shawn is Stronger and Wiser Because: “My freshman year, I tried out for the varsity volleyball team. I was the first freshman to ever try for varsity, and I thought I had no chance at making the team. I gave it my all at tryouts and made the team! This experience taught me to try my hardest, no matter what.”
Part of the Solution: “A key issue facing young adults today is obesity. It is very important to make healthy lifestyle choices and exercise regularly. I can be a part of the solution by asking for a healthier lunch menu at school.”
