Describe your senior year in three words.
Eventful, Exciting, and Unforgettable.
If you could create one mandatory course for future seniors,
what would it be?
It would be a type of course that helps seniors research the
many college options and help them narrow down to their
top three choices.
“I will always remember…”
I will never forget walking onto the football field every
Friday night and seeing a whole town supporting me and
my teammates.
If you could change one school rule, what would it be?
I think we should be able to wear hats in school.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In 10 years, I see myself at a college or professional athletic
team, assisting with a strength program.
What has been the highlight of your senior year?
The highlight of my senior year was breaking the school
lifting records.
What is the best advice you’ve ever been given?
Always work hard and never give up on something you want
to accomplish.
If you could go back and change one thing, what would it be?
If I could go back in my school career, I would start lifting
weights earlier so that I could be even stronger than I am now.
What advice would you give incoming freshmen?
To the freshmen coming up: enjoy every second of high school,
because one day you will wake up and everything will be gone.
What are your plans after graduation?
My plans after graduation are to attend Belhaven University
to continue playing football, and to get a degree in exercise
science.
Who was your favorite teacher throughout all of high school
and why?
My favorite teacher throughout high school has definitely been
Mrs. Harrison. She has helped me become the student I am
today by always helping me with whatever I needed. Whether
it be extra help or just someone to talk to, Mrs. Harrison was
always there. Also, she has always supported me in every
sporting event I have been involved in.
