WHAT'S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU'VE TAKEN AND WHY?
Creative Writing was the best Linfield class I've taken because it was fun and allowed me to be genuinely creative.

WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAS HE OR SHE BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL?
My dad has been my greatest inspiration in my life because he has always believed in me, even when I struggled to believe in myself. He pushed me to become the strongest, most determined version of myself, both in sports and school- not because he expected perfection, but because he believed in what I was capable of, even when I didn't. Beyond being my dad, he's been my best friend. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for him.
