* Beyond High School: Will attend Colorado State University as an equine science major. Plans to become a veterinarian.

* What do you think is the biggest problem facing youth today?

"I believe the biggest problem facing youth today comes from a lack of self-esteem. The media portray an unattainable perfection that, to youth, becomes a model. With a realization that this 'beauty' is false, the younger generations would begin to see their own unique beauty, and not the false aesthetics that have become so widely accepted."
