If you were asked to give advice to your senior class and the younger students at your school, what would you say?
My advice is to be well-rounded. Make sure not to only focus on one thing. Being well-rounded in your life will open doors to all sorts of new possibilities that may not have been available without a diversity of interests and skills.
If you could choose anyone to have lunch with, who would you choose? Why? And where, locally, would you meet for this lunch?
I would love to have lunch with Mikaela Shiffrin to talk about her success in the skiing world. It would be very interesting to learn about her mentality on the mountain before a race and during training.
