What do you think is the most important quality for a friend to have? I think the most important quality for a friend to have is loyalty. Having a loyal friend is one of the greatest gifts you can have because you know they will always be there for you during the good and the bad.

What advice would you share with a prospective student? I would say to never be afraid to put yourself out there. It's important to not just stick to what's familiar and to try as many new activities as you can. Take every opportunity that comes your way even if you're uncertain about the outcome. You may find some of your best friends or discover a new passion.

What new passion or interest did you discover while at Archer? I discovered my passion for literature at Archer. I have never been an English enthusiast but after my four years at Archer, English has become such a huge part of my academic land social life. My English teachers at Archer have honestly been some of the most interesting people and my passion for literature continues to grow each year.
