Q: How has your senior year of school been going?
ACHI: “It’s been going pretty good. It’s been challenging, but good. I can’t believe how fast it’s flown by.”
Q: Does this school year seem different to you because you’re a senior?
ACHI: “Yes, it has. I’ve been experiencing a lot of lasts for high school, so that’s been different.”
Q: How important is excelling in the classroom to you?
ACHI: “It’s really important to me. My dream is to become a radiologist, so doing well in school has always been a top priority for me. For me, that’s meant trying to do my best in the classroom and being respectful to those around me.”
