What are your favorite classes? What was it about these classes that thrilled you? 

My favorite classes are AP bio and human antimony with Mr. Hobby Lobby (Mr. Hobbs). These classes were fun! Mr. Hobbs is an amazing teacher. He is the best teacher in the school.

Describe, in detail, your ideal life 10 years from now. 

In ten years, I am going to be rich and famous, and do a lot of research for possibly a PHD, living in a house in Southern France with a good size of land, and a farm I don’t take care of, but others do!  

What is your best high school memory and why?  

I’d probably say the games like when we do dodgeball and stuff like that because I’ve been able to announce them and it’s super fun! 

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

Honestly, in general senior year is a lot of fun. There was a bunch of action and a lot of drama I really like. It’s super fun! There is just a lot going on. I’ve had a good and enjoyable year!  

If there were a movie made about your high school days, what would be the title and which actor would play your part? Why?  

“Fighting For My Life,” would be the title for a movie about my high school career. Starring it would be Timothee Chalamet because he is a super great actor and has the looks just like me!  

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

Frank Ocean because a song I enjoy by him is Pink + White.  The vibezzz are chill and relaxed. Especially, since senior year can get stressful, it’s nice to be able to listen to his music and calm me down. 

What is your favorite quote to live by and why?  

“As dark and murky as the water may look, it’s not that deep. Take a step break the surface and swim.” It is such a true and reliable quote that made me realize everything will be ok! 

Who will you remember most in Bangor and why?  

Logan Rushe as the wide receiver position, Grace Plimpton as the solid defensive end. Let’s go Alexa Martin and Sammi Tucker running back. Greg Campbell, Dylan Krugh, MJ Sue, Parker Sandt, Courtney Spence, and Grace Deeney are on the side lines. These are just all great people in my life, and I want to connect with them throughout college and life! 

Who is your biggest mentor? Why?

She has retired but Mrs. Rabbit is like my mother, and we are like bff’s! She has been very supportive to me and like a mother figure. Mr. Hobbs (Hobby Lobby) has taught me so much and with my career path. He is my role model and I look up to him!  

Which of these activities is your favorite and why? What was/is your position in the activity? Why did this activity matter to you so much? List any accomplishments. (Feel free to answer with more than one activity; please specify) 

SODA is my favorite because I literally put my heart and soul into this club. Going down to see the kids is refreshing.
