English because it's boring to me.
What type of books do you enjoy reading?

If you were principal for a day, what would you do?
I would let school out early and let everyone in school play an educational game or something like that.

Ms. Murray in fifth grade. We got to do little games in her class that were fun to play.
Which person do you admire the most?
Probably my dad because he likes to help me get better in sports.
Since your dad is in charge of the RHS Booster Club, does he get you to help out?
I help him go get the food for the players from different places in town – it's a lot of work.

How many push-ups can you perform?
I can do 15 in a row.
Name one place you would like to visit.
Washington D.C. I would visit the Lincoln Memorial.
