Innovative Invention

Magna Vista High School Senior

I'm working to complete a project as part of becoming an Eagle Scout. With the help of many others, I built several Little Free Libraries, which are outlets for means of sharing books with the community. I wanted to do something different and encourage reading.

About Me: I am a senior at Magna Vista High School where I play the trumpet in the marching band and am president of the National Honor Society. I am a member of Boy Scout Troop 168 and am currently working on my Eagle Scout project. My hobbies include reading, hiking, and birding. I also enjoy drawing and painting when I find the time. I attend Piedmont Governor's School and hope to get my Associate's Degree this Spring.

Quote that Inspires Me: "It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." - Albus Dumbledore

Motivation: My motivation is conveyed by a Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." In my life, I do not simply want to follow the crowd, but I want to explore the world, make my own way, and inspire other people to do the same.

Future Plans: I've been accepted to Longwood University and Roanoke College. I have also applied to the University of Richmond. I plan to major in Communications or English. One day, I would like to hike the Appalachian Trail.
