Martin Bender, Lincoln-Way<br />
West senior<br />
Martin Bender was picked as this week’s<br />

performance.<br />
What is one essential you must have when<br />
studying?<br />
When I study, I need music. It helps me<br />
a ton.<br />
What do you like to do<br />
when not in school or studying?<br />
Playing sports with friends<br />
and eating any kind of<br />
food.<br />
What is your dream job?<br />
I have always wanted to be the head coach<br />
of the Chicago Bears.<br />
What is one thing people don’t know about<br />
you?<br />
Most people don’t know that I am a good<br />
singer in the car.<br />
Whom do you look up to and why?<br />
My parents. They are two of the most hard<br />
working people I know and they never back<br />
down from a challenge or a hard time.<br />
Who is your favorite teacher and why?<br />
My favorite teacher is Ms. Baya. She is<br />
a great teacher and she connects with the<br />
students very well. She makes class fun.<br />
Photo Submitted<br />
What are some songs of your most played<br />
songs on your phone?<br />
Some of the most played songs on my<br />
phone are, “God” by Kendrick Lamar,<br />
“Therapy” by Khalid, and I can’t go anywhere<br />
without my girl Taylor Swift.<br />
What’s one thing that stands out about your<br />
school?<br />
One of the main things that stands out is<br />
how all of the students get along with each<br />
other throughout all four grade levels.<br />
What extracurricular do you wish your<br />
school had?<br />
I wish our school had a dodgeball team. It<br />
would be fun to play other schools.<br />
What’s your best memory from school?<br />
My best memory from school is the football<br />
Friday night lights. There is no better<br />
feeling than Friday night lights.<br />

we’ve kind of revisited it and<br />
started actually planning a<br />
wedding here locally,” Roberts<br />
said.<br />
She said she felt honored<br />
to receive the dress, adding<br />
it was “so special to be chosen<br />
by obviously someone<br />
so special.”<br />
“[Leja] is the sweetest<br />
person ever,” she said. “I<br />
look forward to talking to<br />
her every chance we get ... I<br />
think that not only did I gain<br />
a wedding dress, I feel like<br />
I’ve gained a great friendship.”<br />
Leja said she plans to continue<br />
assisting Roberts with<br />
the wedding, adding anyone<br />
interested in contributing<br />
a service — photography<br />
or makeup for instance —<br />
should get in touch with her<br />
at jleja06@gmail.com.<br />
“For her to have options,<br />
or if anyone knows anyone<br />
in the Nashville area and<br />
can reach out, or if anyone<br />
would like to pay it forward<br />
to Toni, something like that,<br />
that would be helpful,” she<br />
said. “I’m going to continue<br />
to help her and make this<br />
wedding amazing.”<br />
