Peters is a determined and well-rounded young lady. She eagerly accepts challenge. She has a tremendous work ethic and works hard to experience success even when things are difficult for her. She is driven to be a leader and is seeks to improve herself whenever the opportunity presents itself. An example of this is the fact that Peters is the first female in the school’s 56-year history to score a point for the football team. She joined the varsity football team as a junior in the kicker position. She has opened doors to make it easier for females in the future who want to step out of traditional gender roles.
