Her best high school memory is “I loved dancing and learning a bit of ASL for the musical Godspell, and dancing offstage with my friends whenever we could.”
Amber’s goals for the remainder of the school year is to “stop procrastinating, and to try to really enjoy the rest of high school.” After high school, she plans to attend the University of Pittsburgh to study History or English in hopes of becoming a teacher in these subjects in the future. She believes she was chosen as Student of the Month as she thinks of herself as a well-rounded student, and tries to be as involved as she can. Amber's advice for other students is “You’re capable of more than you think, so try to get out of your comfort zone.” Congratulations to Amber Medved on being October's Student of the Month and enjoy your senior year!
