High school memoir: The lessons learned outside of the classroom,

the experiences which helped me to grow and the people with whom I

shared them.

Most embarrassing moment: One time the boy's bathroom was

flooding, and I accidentally stepped in some wet toilet paper.

Luckily, a teacher noticed it before any fellow students and

informed me of it, but it was still rather embarrassing.

Advice for junior class I am leaving behind: Though you should

weigh the wisdom offered by friends and family before making

important decisions, you must ultimately think and act in accordance

with your own convictions.

Person I admire most: Andrew Carnegie, for his shrewd business

sense, his bold ambition, and his unflagging confidence.
