What’s the best and/or worst thing about being a senior? Best thing about being a senior is that teachers actually treat you like a human and not a responsibility.

Which teacher or staff member has had the biggest impact on you and why? Mr. Babcock is one of the only staff that actually understands and enjoys being around us and takes part in joking around and pretty much was the reason high school was so enjoyable for me.

What’s your advice to incoming high school freshmen? To incoming freshman I would say that don’t be afraid to make friends with the upperclassmen. We only have a problem with you if you are a disturbance and we don’t even know you.

What are your plans after graduation? I plan to finish my schooling at Indian Hills and go straight into the workforce.

Who has been your biggest influence in your life and why? My parents have been the biggest influence in my life because well I’m pretty much following in my father’s exact footsteps and I have learned to be myself because of my mother and she gave me my love for cooking.
