She also says she would like to travel to Seattle because she’s always wanted to go there.
When asked who Hannah admires most in life, she said “her parents” because they are supportive of her no matter what.
Before leaving Leigh, Hannah left underclassmen with this bit of advice: “Have fun while it lasts, because one day you’re going to stand there wondering where time went.”
Best of luck in your future, Hannah! Leigh, Nebraska misses you!
