Senior Slay

This week's Senior Slay is Mary Daoud. Her favorite memory is a bus ride back from a tennis match where the team was blasting music and having a good time. She would advise younger students to "participate in school sports and activities; try their best in school; and live life with no regrets." She's planning to major in Biochemistry and go to medical school. Mary has played tennis for the past three years and is excited for her last season in the spring. She says, "I have really enjoyed all of my classes, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be last year’s band class." Her most slay moment was winning her first tennis match in ninth grade that lasted three hours and ended with a 10 point tiebreaker in pouring rain. A fun fact about Mary is that she has lived in Paris, France and New York.
