One skill/lesson you’ve learned at Northeast that you’ll take with you: I learned to always believe in your future after high school and you can always learn new things on the road of life.
A person who has inspired you to be your best: My father has always inspired me to do my best no matter what the project is. He taught me that every project has its downs but if you take your time and use your skills you’ll be done in no time and feel like you did your best every time.
Favorite quote: “Always believe in yourself and never put yourself down.”
Plans after graduation: Continue to work as an electrician.

Violations, including unauthorized photographing or video recording, may result in disciplinary action. Students are permitted to use their devices during lunch.
