What’s the best advice you’ve received and from whom?

My dad has always told me to take everything in moderation and so far it’s the best advice I’ve lived by.

If your high school career were a song, what would it be and why?

I would say my high school career could best be described by Rick Astley's “Never Gonna Give You Up,” because it is a continuing commitment to hard work and diligence.

What are you looking forward to most at college (and which college)?

I can’t wait for an academic environment where everyone is willing to work and is excited about what they are studying. I will be attending CarnegieMellonUniversity.
If your high school mascot fought your college mascot, who would win?

Definitely my high school mascot the lion, given CarnegieMellonUniversity’s mascot is a Scottish Terrier.
How will you change the world?

Through innovation. I’m not sure how, but I know it will come by those means.
Are you friends with your parents on Facebook?

No, they don’t use it.
