She was one of 40 students selected from six states. ‘ ‘The program was designed to increase math and science skills,” said Thompson. “It also helped us to explore technical skills by placing us in classes such as algebra, chemistry, geometry, trigonometry, biology and physics.” Thompson maintains she is a very active person and is involved in a number of academic organizations. She is vice president of the Speech and Debate team.

She is treasurer of the Latin Club, and is in her fifth year as a member of the Drama Club. She is a member of the junior varsity cheerleading squad and plays the clarinet for the band. Thomspon is also a member of Rhoer Club, the little sisters of Sigma Ghamma Rho. According to Thompson the best advice she can offer to her peers is to keep an optimistic attitude and remain focused. “It is important to keep a positive attitude because behavior is important,” said Thompson. “Know your goals and pursue them, stay on track. If you fall off get back on because if you don't life will pass you by.”
