What do you enjoy most about South Lake County?  <p>
I guess the most enjoyable thing about it is that it's very peaceful   and quiet.<p>
If you had to summarize your  philosophy of life in one sentence, what would it be?  <p>
Life is what you make it.<p>
Name a person or incident you've come across recently that's touched you in some way. Why did this person or incident impress you so much?<p>
My mother. She does a lot for me, and it keeps me going to become successful enough to were she doesn't have to work anymore.<p>
How does what you do contribute to the welfare of the area? <p>
What I  do -- mentoring students after school at the Boys &amp; Girls Club -- helps contribute to the area because my job helps keep kids off the streets and shows them the right path to go. As for any real accomplishments, it's that I will be going to college. I'm going to finish college for sure.<p>
What's something you've always wanted to do but haven't yet? <p>
Go scuba diving.<p>
What advice would you give to people who want to help out in the community? <p>
My advice would be to help out as much as you can because it makes you feel better doing something positive for your community, and it makes a difference.<p>
