How will your high school experiences help you in coming years? They developed me socially as well as building much-needed skills to prosper.
Fondest memory of high school? Getting 2nd at Smash Bros State Esports.
Which teachers have had the biggest impact on you and why? Mr. Arnold Anderson and Mr. Cory Reid. Mr. Anderson has been my band teacher since 6th grade and has taught me several instruments from the French Horn to Trumpet, Xylophone, and Bells. Mr. Reid has been my Esports Coach for 4 years and helped mature my once abrasive nature.
Who is your role model and how did they influence you? My brother, Samuel Denney. I have looked to him for a major figure in my life, he's also always been there to help me and be a great brother.
What is special about your high school? The closeness to teachers and classmates due to the size of the school. Because we have classes from one to twenty people, you become closely connected with the teachers and peers, allowing for a closer, and much simpler, learning experience.
If you go back to when you were a freshman, what advice would you give yourself? Do everything and enjoy yourself while it's happening.
