What was the funniest thing, or thing you will remember most, about high school? I will always cherish FCCLA trips, Homecoming, proms, and just the feeling of one big family that Woodson offers.
What advice do you have for underclassmen to survive high school? Be yourself: Don't let what others say cut you down, and don't let what others do affect your own decisions.
What will you tell your classmates at your 10-year high school reunion? I hope to have graduated from UT, lived and worked in NYC for a few years, then have moved back to Texas to get married and start a family.
