What is one essential you must have when studying? I need silence or instrumental background music while studying. I’m one of those people. To really focus and get productive studying done, I prefer having no outside distractions. What do you like to do when not in school or studying? You can probably find me nose deep into a book or smelling my fries at Steak ‘n Shake with my friends. What’s your dream job? My dream job is to run a Fortune 500 company. Having that much authority is appealing to me, but I’m more excited for the process to get there. I would say I’m always looking up to new heights, and I want to keep the bar as high as possible. What are the most played songs on your iPod? Anything by Mumford and Sons. They’re a band for all seasons. What is one thing people don’t know about you? It’s actually quite hard for me to make decisions. especially about small, harmless things, like deciding how to answer this question, for example. Whom do you look up to? I look up to anyone who has the courage to be unapologetically themselves while also not putting others down. Specifically, I look up to Katherine Johnson, a physicist and mathematician who played a key role in sending an American into space for the first time. Her intelligence and especially her Photo Submitted determination, despite the obstacles she’s faced, is inspiring. What is your favorite teacher? Mr. Hooper was my sophomore AP US History teacher. He’s one of the first teachers who made me feel confident in my arguments. He would take a smart student and make them support and back up their arguments. And of course, he made a potentially dry topic very engaging and interesting. What extracurricular do you wish your school had? I wish we had a competitive mock trial program. I got to be a part of mock trials, and it was an amazing experience. I wish more high school students could be a part of that. What’s one thing that stands out about your school? Other than that our school color is bright orange, Principal Dr. Schmitt is an amazing leader that actually cares about the student body, and it shows. What’s your best memory from school? The time I spent doing theater productions and madrigal performances are my favorite times of the year. Standout Student is a weekly feature for The New Lenox Patriot. Nominations come from New Lenox area schools.
