Clayton High School, Class of 2013

Why is service important to you?

Service has been embedded in my soul. I was fortunate to have many champions and mentors who have helped me become who I am today. I am glad I can be in a space to give to other students now. 

What do you love about Philly?

I love the character of Philly. The city does not hide itself and shows up genuinely. Just look at Philly's fans; we have an enthusiasm that is unmatched and where people will fight for the underdog.
