Memories

I have many great memories. Having transferred from Ohio in my junior year and when I first saw the campus of RUHS, I could not believe this was a high school. It was beautiful. And I guess the most important part was the way everyone accepted me as part of their "family," right from the staff, the teammates, the students and the community. I also enjoyed hanging out at the beach.
