Favorite teacher? Why?
Mr. Holthaus was definitely my favorite. I loved how he ran his class and made it fun. He was one of those teachers that just really loved what he was teaching and knew a ton about the content.

Then one of my friends hit her with a roll of toilet paper over the roof. We had a real good laugh and apparently we started a tradition of trying to raid the bandits!
Did you like high school? Do you miss it?

I took for granted how lucky I was to have such great friends and family to hang out with everyday. The biggest thing I miss was the extracurriculars. I am competing still in college but it’s just not the same. High school was more laid back and I had a lot of fun with the people on my
