School has always been very important to me. I was raised in a household where school and grades came first. My father was a superintendent of schools for fifteen years; my mother is a school teacher.
I work hard on and off the ice and am a good teammate. I always put forth my best effort and am reliable.
If I don’t get the grades that I want or if I don’t make a certain team, I keep working. I don’t give up and will always continue to work in order to achieve my dreams on and off the ice.
