WHAT MY FRIENDS WILL REMEMBER ABOUT ME: My friends will remember that I was always there for them whenever they needed me and that I was always able to make them laugh even during a serious situation HOW WOULD YOU SPEND $1,000,000? I would spend $1,000,000 by buying a building to start my bakery in and purchasing the necessary equipment and ingredients to start the operation of my bakery. I would also spend the money by buying decorations to make my bakery unique and professional. If I had any remaining money from the $1,000,000, I would give each of my parents some. IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND, WHAT 3 ITEMS WOULD YOU WANT WITH YOU? A photo album with pictures of my family and friends, my bed, and a cooler full of food. LAST WORDS OF ADVICE: “Enjoy high school, take advantage of the opportunities presented to you, and have fun because high school flies by and will be over before you know it.”
