What has been your greatest accomplishment in high school? My greatest accomplishment in high school is making the All-District and All-Region bands the past three years and being able to see myself improve as a musician, as well as receiving a one on both my trumpet and vocal solos.

What are your plans after high school? I plan to attend San Antonio College and obtain my American Sign Language Interpreting certification. I then plan on continuing my education elsewhere to obtain my teaching certificate and eventually teaching ASL.
