What are your plans after high school?

Go to the United States Military Academy and pursue a four-year mechanical engineering degree and eventually become an officer in the US Army

 

What is your passion in life? 

 

To get as much dad lore as humanly possible

 

How do you judge a person?

 

How they treat others

 

What is your greatest accomplishment so far?

 

Being a varsity letter winner for the Swim Team since freshman year

 

Which countries/places would you like to visit?

 

I want to go to the Swiss Alps on a ski trip

 

What was your favorite class in SHS?

 

Advanced Fitness with Mr Perry is my favorite

 

What movie/show could you never get tired of watching?

 

Any Brad Pitt movie

 

What is the most important lesson you have learned?

 

The best victories are earned not given; the victories you earn from hard work and dedication are much sweeter than the ones given.

 

What would you do if you only had 24 hours left to live?

 

I would visit family and end the day on a long hike through the woods

 

Who are your favorite teachers and why?

My favorite teachers of all time have to be Mr. Meckes, Mrs. Brown, Mr. Perry, and Mrs. Haubrich. In my opinion, the best teachers are teachers that you can relate to and have conversations with about things other than school. I think that it’s those types of conversations and relations that improve everyone’s day-to-day life.
