Random Fact/Story about Tommy (funny or serious): I have known Tommy for about four years (I think), and he never fails to make me happy at a concert or an event. Whether it is watching all of his fans follow him, ask him questions, tell him stories, or whether he just hangs out to enjoy the concert with my friends and me. Tommy would have to be the nicest radio/media person I have ever met and he has the greatest knowledge of the entertainment industry. I hope everyone gets a chance to meet him someday!!

School Next Year: Arizona State University

Biggest Accomplishment in HS: Making Varsity Cheerleading and competing in the national competition for DECA, which took place in Anaheim, CA.

Most Important Thing Learned in HS: Always be yourself, because if you are not, then you will never meet people that actually like you for you. I also learned that it is important to be outgoing. Meet new people so there will always be someone there for you.

Advice To Underclassmen: Use your class time wisely so you can get your work done. If you do not, then your entire night after school will just be taken up with homework. Plus, it is important to get work done so your GPA can stay up there. GPA is most important by the end of a high school career. It is needed to get into colleges, receive scholarships and it can even be used on resumes for future careers. Just stay focused for those seven hours of school during the day, and then you can go crazy afterwards with your friends; it is definitely worth every bit of work.

Have You Had The Same Friends All Four Years: I have had the same group of close friends, but as I was put into different classes I met tons of school friends along the way. Hopefully, I will stay in touch with all of my friends over the summer and possibly throughout college.

Goals For The Future: My future goals are to: Attend Arizona State University, major in Marketing at the W.P. Carey School of Business, and minor in Journalism at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. I would love to go into Public Relations at a record label or in the entertainment industry for my future career. I see this as something I would love to do and it is important to love your career. I hope for this educational path to lead me in the right direction by learning everything possible about business and communications. My final goal in life is to impact others with the role I decide to take in to world. Helping others is very important and I would like to be remembered for putting a smile on people’s faces.
