Cassidy: I have learned I need to have confidence and to put in the work to succeed. Putting in the work helps me gain a sense of pride and self-satisfaction.
VYPE: What motivates you?

Cassidy: For me, It takes a lot of self discipline and time management. It can be so easy to just get on my phone and get distracted, but I put my academics first so I practice a lot of self control. I spend a lot of time doing homework in the car on the way to lessons or on the bus on the way to games.
VYPE: What teacher has had the biggest impact on your life?
Cassidy: Probably my middle school weight training teacher Jayden Dobbs or my previous track coach Squire Logan. They have both poured a lot of time into helping me become the athlete I am today, while being a constant person I can count on if I need anything.

Cassidy: I am involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes leadership, show choir, Student Council, the National Honor Society, Principles Leadership Council, and AP and Honor classes.
