How many years have you been a Bangor Slater?  

13 years! 

Where do you plan to attend college and what will you be studying? What do you want to do as a future career?  

I am attending Northampton Community College for two years then transferring to a four-year college. 

List the sports, activities, clubs, etc. you did while you were at Bangor High School. 

I played tennis sophomore, junior, and senior year. 

What three positive words would your friends use to describe you? 

I asked them and they said, “Sympathetic, thoughtful, and dependable,” so there you go. 

Who will you remember most in Bangor and why? 

Probably my three best friends, Sarah Wilk, Julia Dowd, and Olivia Baadsvik. They have been there since day one! 

What is your best high school memory and why? 

Winning Class of Classes sophomore year. It was so fun. 

What is your worst high school memory and why? 

Freshman year, it was my first day of gym class and I fell in front of everyone, and my knee started bleeding. That was so embarrassing. 

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

If I was a movie, I would be Napoleon Dynamite because his life is the same thing every day and nothing new ever happens. His best friend is also weird and so are mine. (Sarah answered this for me). 

Who influenced you most during high school and why? 

Mrs. Fullwood influenced me the most during high school. She is such a positive person and is just my fav teacher. Love you Fullwood! 

Where do you predict you’ll end up ten years from now and why? 

Hopefully living my best life and making good money, you know. 

Which event, events will you miss the most and why? 

Footballs games and school dances. So fun, so many good memories. 

What is your favorite quote to live by and why? 

“All we have is now,” (I most definitely didn’t just look one up).
