Q: How has your high school career gone so far academically?
MARTIN: “I feel like it’s been going pretty well. My goal coming into high school [was to maintain a 4.0 GPA], so I’m excited about that, especially since I’ve been involved in so many different activities.”
Q: What’s been the key for you to excel academically throughout high school?
MARTIN: “One of the biggest things is using my time wisely. I also see my teachers if I have questions about anything. I think something else that’s important is the emphasis our school places on academics. I was told at a young age that school work is more important and always comes before sports, so that’s always motivated me.”
