College plans: To attend the College of William and Mary and
major in biology or chemistry.

Secret to academic success: Having a good frame of mind and the
right attitude. I tell myself that nothing is too difficult to
learn of understand.
Worst habit: Procrastination and not getting enough sleep
Favorite book: ``Their Eyes Were Watching God'' by Nora Neale
Hurston
Favorite TV show: ``The Wonder Years''
High school memoir: Driving my chemistry teacher crazy. Mostly,
though, I will remember all the wonderful teachers and students that
I've been friends with.
Most embarrassing moment: I auditioned for a part in a musical
in the 10th grade. I had to sing and I didn't know the song. I
didn't get the part.
Advice for junior class I am leaving behind: Don't let the
``senioritis'' become full-blown. Remember the trite saying, ``It's
not over till the fat lady sings.'' Also, patience is the key to
everything.
Person I most admire: My mother, because she is an extraordinary
worker who can handle anything without a single complaint.
