Mr. Jon DeMitchell. He taught me not only how to be a leader, but how to be comfortable speaking out and being unapologetically myself. He has been my theater director for all 4 years of high school, and has always cared for and encouraged my growth. I wouldn't be the person I am today without his influence.
And Mr. Garcia. He was my AP Language and Composition teacher during my Junior year, and he made me feel confident in my academic and writing abilities. Other than being an amazing teacher, he is also continually supportive of my high school activities and is always sure to say hi to me in the hallways. His influence has helped me grow in my academic achievements!
