Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
My favorite class this year is psychology, my favorite thing about school is lunch (even though it’s like 10 minutes shorter this year), I have 5 dogs, Sadie, Moose, Squints, Nugget, and Dakota, and my hobbies include playing softball, golf, and I enjoy hanging out with my family and boyfriend.
How has your school year been so far?
So far this year has been decent. We didn’t do as good as I hoped in softball this year, but so far band is pretty fun. I think we are all doing a pretty good job with what he have been given. Our band mostly consists of 8th graders, so they are all pretty young. Having only 3 seniors has been hard, but we will get better.
