1. What do you think of
participating in the Three Seniors project?
I enjoy getting to
write. I love being able to have my voice heard.
2. How did you spend the
summer of 2007?
At the end of June I
went on a two-week mission trip to Nochixtlán, Mexico. We worked
on a small ranch that is being turned into a retreat center. I
went camping with my family. I spent the rest of the summer
hanging out with my two best friends, Jill Wells and Josh Boyden.
3. Where is your
favorite place to go in Hood River County?
My favorite place in
Hood River County is any place that my friends are. What makes a
place amazing is not what is there to see or do but who is there
to see and do it with you.
4. What is your class
load like this term?
I am taking AP
Literature, Physics, Theology, Government/Economics and AP Art.
5. What challenging or
interesting classes lie ahead this year?
My most challenging
class is Physics. I have never liked science or math. I would
much prefer English class!
6. What challenging or
interesting experiences, other than school, do you anticipate in
the next few months?
Every day holds its own
unexpected challenges. I am involved in Chamber Leaders for
Tomorrow and we are beginning to plan our service learning
project for this year. It could prove to be quite a challenge to
get upwards of 13 kids to come together and decide on a project
to work on.
7. What do you most
enjoy studying?
I enjoy studying
literature. Anything poetry is good for me!
8. What is your earliest
memory of your school years?
The earliest thing that
I remember about school is when I was in kindergarten. We lived
in Medford, and I remember my dad would always drop me off for
school in our old Volkswagen Bug.
9. What was the last
book you read, and what did you think of it?
“Anthem” by Ayn Rand. I
love this book and have read it several times. It outlines the
desire that every human has to be seen as an individual, to be
loved and wanted apart from a collective. That is something that
everyone on this earth can relate to.
10. What are your
hobbies, passions, or favorite things to do?
I love to read, write,
crochet, sing and play the guitar. I would like nothing better
than to spend a whole day by a window while it is raining. I
love music, any kind of music — well, not country.
I really like living in
Hood River. I love getting in the car and driving without any
place to go. I enjoy making beautiful things that can be shared
with and enjoyed by people. I want to be able to make a
difference in someone’s life.
