Which teacher or staff member had the biggest impact on you and why? Mr.V, he has helped me so much when I've needed help in math (which happens a lot). Not only does he help with math he also is a person I can always talk to, make jokes with, and ask for some advice. This is why Mr. V has had the biggest impact on me.

Who has been your biggest influence and why? Coach Weber, he is my biggest influence because of the lessons he has taught me. Not only did he teach me how to play football, or how to watch film, and how to lift weights. He taught me that no matter how high my goal is if I work hard enough I will reach them.
