“The person that I look up to the most would have to be my mom. She is the person that has shaped who I have become. My mom is one of the strongest people I know. She has taught me the value of hard work and honesty in everything I do. Not only that, but she has shown me the importance of perseverance despite the challenges you may face. My mom has battled a lot of hardships in recent years, but every time life tries to knock her down, she stands right back up again and keeps going — no matter how difficult that may be. She is the person that has had the biggest impact on me and my life.” — Reese Martin, class of 2025
