Sydney is a scholarly and driven student with a passion for academics.

Sydney is the President of both the Spanish Honor Society and the Environmental Club and is an active member of both the National Beta Club and National Honor Society. She has played varsity softball throughout high school and was the team captain during her senior year. One of her favorite quotes is, 鈥淣ever regret a day in your life: good days give happiness, bad days give experience, worst days give lessons, and best days give memories.鈥� This quote has taught her that life can be both extraordinary and heartbreaking but that everything happens for a reason. Having a positive outlook is essential to living one鈥檚 best life. Sydney鈥檚 career goal is to become an archaeologist or anthropologist.
