Grade: 12

Family members: Geoff Latham (dad), Laurie Latham (mom), Ryan Latham (brother)

Favorite subject: My favorite subjects include English and science. I love English because I enjoy reading and the adventures that stories take you on right from your very own home. I enjoy science because I am fascinated by learning the way the world works.

Activities: My activities include student government, where I serve as student government president, and BASD Mini-THON, where I also serve as president. I am involved in Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Students Against Destructive Decisions, tennis and Younglife as well.

Next steps: I plan to study at a four-year college or university.

Career goals: Once I complete my bachelor of science in nursing, I plan to work in pediatrics, oncology or as a nurse anesthetist.

Heroes: My heroes are my parents. They have never stopped loving and supporting me throughout my entire life. Our family has faced adversity, but my mom and dad have been a source of strength not only for each other, but for our family as well.

Hobbies: My hobbies include scrapbooking, baking and various forms of crafting.

Current job(s): I have two jobs. I am a camp counselor at Illick's Mill Day Camp every summer and I am also a children's party entertainer. I get to dress as a character (often a princess) and perform magic tricks, sing, dance, paint faces and make balloon animals.

Volunteer/community work: Aside from volunteering at my church, I enjoy volunteering at food banks, Special Olympics and Donegan Elementary School.

Likes: I like puppies, the beach and Pinterest.

Dislikes: I dislike meatloaf.

Greatest accomplishment (so far): My greatest accomplishment so far would have to be helping to raise over $80,000 through BASC Mini-THON and knowing I have been a part of saving pediatric cancer patients' lives.

Advice for peers: Be happy, be confident and above all, be true to yourself.
