How long you've been competing in UIL: Only this year. I competed in middle school and junior high, but I skipped a few years between then and now.

 What's the most challenging/nerve-wracking thing about your event: The most challenging thing about current events is that you can study so much material in preparation for this test and still have no questions on the test asked about what you studied. It happens a lot.

 First thing you'll do when you win: When my team and I win state in current events, I will secretly snicker a little towards our rivals and then jump up and down in celebration with my teammates and current events coach, Mrs. Furr.

 Past honors in the event: None! Haha I have only competed in current events this year.

 Extracurricular activities/other UIL events: I am a member of National Honor Society and I also volunteer frequently in my community. I am in no other UIL events.

 College plans: In the fall, I am moving to Austin and will attend the University of Texas with an undeclared major. Hook 'em Horns!

 Birthplace: I was born in Lufkin, Texas

 One thing your parents, a sibling or even a best friend might not know about you: I have the fear emetophobia.
