Memorable Quote: “My thoughts for current high schoolers is to try to fend off that pressure to please others, right, or to do things to comply with expectations. I think all of us thrive when we are allowed to be ourselves. And so I encourage them to be themselves. And to really pay attention to where their interests lie academically.” Director Perez.
