My first priority is school. I try real hard to study and get my work done whenever I have free time. I do my homework before practice—that way I'm free for both basketball and the play.

My dad has had the biggest effect on me. He played Division III basketball in college. He got me into it early and coached me when I was younger. He's supported me all along and has really kept me motivated.

The director knows that right now basketball is tops, so he works around that.
