What concerns Virginia in the world: An issue that concerns me most is technology and how it is affecting humans and their interactions with one another. As technology advances, it pops up more and more in our day to day lives. Technology is not a replacement for human interaction, and it is important that we are mindful of that.
Favorite thing about Lake Orion High School: The people in it! Sitting at school for hours on end probably isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but being able to talk to friends and caring teachers throughout the day really brightens the atmosphere.
