When it comes to being traditional with who his hero is, Brayden Wallace isn’t going to say his mom or dad even though they are a big part of his life. Brayden would actually say that his hero is a YouTuber named Seán William McLoughlin also known as Jacksepticeye. “Growing up, he was probably one of the bigger figures in my life. His positive mentality, his ability to keep going, to keep doing, and his ability to show it doesn’t matter where you are…it’s not that hard to be nice to someone.” Besides having a hero that sounds like a really good role model, Brayden makes a claim for some of the best advice that he could give to freshmen: “Honestly just show up and be yourself. Don’t show up and pretend to be someone you’re not because then it is harder to break that fake persona when you actually want to be yourself.” Keeping on the trend with advice some of the greatest advice Brayden has ever gotten has been from an alumni of the school. The advice being “Slow down, take time to relax and keep going at it.”
