Question and Answer

Question #1: What are two initiatives you will work on as an SBO next year if you are elected?

Make sure more clubs will be promoted. Showing more things you can try out for and when you can.

Question #2: What does it mean to you to be a Colt?

It means to be respectful to someone no matter their gender, sexuality, or race. It's a tough world out there, don't make it harder for someone else.

Question #3: What is one way you would develop activities to make everyone at Cottonwood feel welcome and included?

Showing more activities and checking with students to see what they want to see at cottonwood. I want to take pictures of people and the clubs they personally enjoy. I don't want it to seem like people with niche activities don't have a place at cottonwood.

Question #4: What advice do you have to stay motivated with attendance and academics throughout the year?

Grades are hard to keep up with, I get it. Take everything with a couple steps at a time, I know it looks like a lot but it's really not. Don't be afraid to ask for help, I used to be but then I had gotten Mrs. Smith as my homeroom teacher and felt comfortable to start asking questions.
