Sumaya Moalin is a senior and is involved in speech & debate. She's also the creative director of Muslim Student Association and a board member of the Student Advocacy Society. 

One advice she would like to give incoming 8th graders is, "Put yourself out there. Don't be afraid to try new things, enroll in different courses and meet new people. Life is all about experiences and opportunities. Don't let your high school life pass you by because you were too afraid to do anything. You really only get one chance at it."

How did Burnsville High School impact Sumaya? Sumaya actually started the school year late, enrolling in the second semester of junior year. But even in that short time, she met amazing friends and mentors who helped her along the way. It really made a difference in her high school experience.
