In 10 Years: I see myself living somewhere out of NYS preferably somewhere where the weather is not bipolar and snowing until May, like here in NY. I would love to become a substance abuse counselor to help those struggling with addiction. I also see myself becoming a youth leader for a church and doing missionary work around the world spreading the word, because that is something I am VERY passionate about, and I take it VERY seriously. Maybe I would start a family at the end of those 10 years.
Favorite Memories: One of my favorite memories at ND would be beating Edison every time and our karaoke bus rides to and from the games. I also loved creating bonds with some people that I know are going to last a lifetime. Spirit week, homecoming games, and the dances were really fun as well.
Last Will & Testament: My years at ND were like a roller coaster, but this one did not make me throw up. Coming here in 7th grade was a little terrifying, but somehow I made it to graduation. Something EVERY student should know and take into consideration is that the teachers and staff are there to help you at any time, they want to see you graduate. Do your work and do good on tests, quizzes, exams, etc., because those will all definitely affect your GPA later on in your senior year. To Shannon Maloney, I leave you with the responsibility of helping your teammates when needed at any time, also my jersey, #20. To Ava Mustico, I leave you with the memories of lying on the gym floor during practice saying "boom boom boom everybody say way ho". To Lawson Bigelow, I leave you with saying Bang Bang every time one of the guards shoot a 3, and also barking at the opponents...smh lol. Finally my sister Ariyanna White I leave you my love. Even though I am graduating and leaving for college soon, that does not mean that you cannot call me when you need something. Never change who you are for people to like you. Just remember that God is ALWAYS on your side. Enjoy your high school years now because time moves quickly. Please let the teachers help you if you need it. I leave you with ALL of my homework, test, and quizzes lol. I love you, buddy, stay strong and keep your head up!! If I forgot anyone and you know we are close just know that I love you and that you got this!! Jesus loves you all.
Class of 2021 we did it!!
Peace out ND it was nice knowing ya!
