Which teacher influenced you most or who will you remember most from Bangor and why?

Both Mr. Crisp and Mr. Miller influenced me about my career choices and how successful I will be, always pushing me to do my best! Mrs. Derry helped bring out the school spirit and made me join in on fun events and clubs the school has.

What is your best high school memory and why?

Any moment I had laughed or even cried with my friends holds a place in my heart, no matter who it was.

What is your worst high school memory and why?

Any worst memory in school was probably just a lesson learned. Simply just not going out there and giving everything my all would be my worst memory. Not being able to go back and go the basketball game or go to a club event with my friends for the school.

Which band could play the soundtrack to your high school career and why?

Big Time Rush. Not only was it my first band crush but the song talks about giving it your all and I learned to do that throughout the years. Not giving up and not quitting.

If there were a movie made about your high school days, which actor would play your part and why?

Probably Sam from ICarly, I can not describe really why her but it fits me too well. I feel like most my friends would understand that.

On a big old farm, decorated with all of my crafty things, my husband and kids, and a beautiful community of people getting fresh produce early in the morning!

I love going to all the events the school has! I get to meet new people and have a blast with my friends! All of them hold a place in my heart!

What is your favorite quote to live by and why?

1 Corinthians 10:13, this bible verse explains that there are temptations in life and everyone goes through it. But god’s faith is much brighter and no matter what happens if you believe and you share that belief with someone else then they too can overcome.

If you were to try out a new sport what would it be?

I really wanted to run Cross Country! I love running and it always makes me feel outstanding after running a race! Keeps me in great shape too.

What track event interests you the most and why?

Long Jump will always be a funny event. Not just the people I got to jump with but the atmosphere around it. Amazing coach! Fun opponents on the other team every time. Just a bunch of kids clapping at you to run and jump in a sandpit. Then having a sandy butt when you get out.

During soccer season what kept you motivated?

Most of my close friends I made from soccer. Young girls who come up and look to me as a senior for advice and for me to motivate them was my motivation. I wanted to show them that they can accomplish whatever they like and I always stuck around to help them afterwards too.
