Motivated and incredibly involved senior Addison Karasek plans to attend a 4-year college in state for chemistry to pursue a job in chemical engineering. She has been an outgoing student here at Bangor with participation in soccer, track and field, girls basketball, SODA, and student government. 

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

My favorite class in high school is ceramics. I get to have creative freedom to create what I want, which is why I have taken up to level 3. Mrs. Reenock is a good teacher, and I always have a fun time in class.

What are some positive adjectives that your friends would use to describe you?

My friends would describe me as an accountable person since they can always count on me to get things done, and probably talkative.

What are your plans after high school (college, military, career path, etc.)? What do you hope to study? What career(s) appeal to you? Why?

My plans for after high school are to attend a 4-year college in-state for chemistry. I want to work in chemical engineering.

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

In 10 years from now, I want a cushy job, to be married, and to live in a rural area in a big house with lots of dogs.

What is your best high school memory and why?

My favorite memory from high school was the Bangor vs. Pen Argyl football game this year. Everyone came together, and it was a great way to kick off senior 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?

The title would be “High School, yay” because high school was fun for me most of the time. I would have Emma Stone play me because I feel like we have the same personality.

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

I loved the bonfires because it is one of the biggest school events. I loved making the signs and putting them up together for SGA, and this year I got to build the bonfire with the rest of my senior class.

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

I would pick Olivia Rodrigo to play my soundtrack because all her songs appeal to various stages of me being in high school, and I love all her songs.

What is your favorite quote to live by and why?

My quote would be “2024 the plot” since it is senior year, my friends and I agreed that this is our last year together before we all go our separate ways.

Who will you remember most in Bangor and why?

I would say I had the best time with Julia and Chloe because we have all done the same sports together, we have been closest this year, and I have so many good memories with them that I will cherish.

Who is your biggest mentor (shoutout a teacher/coach)? Why?

My biggest mentor would be Miss Gunn. She’s always been there for me and has helped me with things, especially student government.

What activities (sports, clubs, jobs) have you done throughout your high school career, and what is your favorite?

Soccer – I played defense, track and field – I threw disc, shot, and javelin, and girls basketball – I was a manager. For clubs, I’m the event coordinator for both student government and government. My favorite would be soccer because even though I hated playing games, I made such an amazing bond with all my friends. I played it for 1 year of my life, and I am sad that it’s ending now.
