What are your favorite classes? What was it about these classes that thrilled you?
My favorite classes are math classes because I’m a physically hands-on person, and it’s engaging to me.
Describe, in detail, your ideal life 10 years from now.
I would plan to already have my master’s degree, possibly somewhere in Massachusetts, possibly with kids and family!
What is your best high school memory?
When I fell off the pull-up bar for the Marines.
If there were a movie made about your high school days, what would be the title and which actor would play your part? Why?
“Inside My Head,” the best person to play my part would be Anne Hathaway. I think she would do a great job portraying me.
Which event/events will you miss the most and why?
I will miss sports the most and choir because I have been singing since I was 6 and have a great passion to sing within the community.
Which artist could play the soundtrack to your high school career and why?
Corpse because it is overall relatable to my high school experience.
What is your favorite quote to live by and why?
“Things get 10 times worse before they get 100 times better.”
Who will you remember most in Bangor and why?
My friend Laura B in choir because we share the same religion. She has guided me in a way, and has been there for me. I fall behind sometimes with my religion and choir. She has always been consistent and a real friend.
Who is your biggest mentor? Why?
Mrs. Harris because she is super kind and listens to me and what I have to say, not many teachers do that so it’s nice to have her.
What activities (sports, clubs, jobs) have you done throughout your high school career?
Choir, art club, School of Rock, track and field, wrestling, cross country, painting and design, and CIT.
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)
Track has been my favorite because I love the thrill of watching myself grow over time and how it’s not just running independently but building yourself and your confidence to run in front of people. The energy is always high and rewarding. I am a sprinter in track, doing 100s, 200s, and 400s. My favorite one is the 200!
