Tell us a little bit about yourself

My name is Marissa Gray, and I am a senior at Holy Family High School. During my time at Holy Family, I was a cheerleader for three years and an active NHS member. I curated articles for the HF Lamppost, and a poem that I wrote was featured in the school’s literary magazine my junior year. During my senior year, I was a member of the yearbook sta that produced an amazing nal product. After high school, I will attend Texas A&M University to study English. Later, I hope to attend law school.

What is the most enduring memory from your high school career?

My most memorable moment from high school is the 2022 state cheerleading competition. e support from my team, friends, and community was astounding. I will never forget winning second place and how hard the team worked to get there.

Talk about your role in society going forward. What issues do feel drawn to address postgraduation and how do you plan to do that?

After graduation, I feel drawn to address issues such as poverty through my involvement in policy-making and government.

Where do you see yourself in 20 years?

In 20 years, I will be 38 years old. At this point in my life, I see myself with a big loving family and many dogs.
