Her faith in me pushed me to become a better person and to strive for the things I had only dreamed of accomplishing. Her leadership and guidance is a very big contributing factor to my character today. I have gained emotional strength and confidence under her leadership and any student who has the chance to be mentored by her will not regret it. " As for advice to underclassmen, Chalee says "always try your best, some people will doubt you and say it's not possible, but if you focus on the finish line the race is worth it!"
