Slide 2: “My legacy comes from what I’ve imparted to the people younger than me, where I’ve helped them learn,” - Jaymul Barot (BIHS)

Slide 3: “I’m really proud of myself for choosing extracurriculars that mean a lot to me, I hope my legacy is someone who was passionate about everything they did and made every single day count,” - Najuna Kiggundu (AC)

Slide 4: “(Mountain Biking) it’s such an amazing community, it’s really been great. The coaches, and the people, and the groups have just been super fun, and we get to go to really cool places,” - Sofia Tripcevich (BIHS)

Slide 5: “I wish I knew as a freshman that, you shouldn’t try to be perfect, and you should just try to do your best at everything that you can,” - Mags Metcalf-Tobin (AMPS)
