Q. What do you believe are three keys to being a good student? Good students have well-developed time-management skills, a strong desire to succeed, and are not afraid to ask questions.
Q. What is your favorite class and why? My favorite class was Calculus A during junior year. Numbers and equations have always interested me, and Mr. Johnson made the class fun while making sure to thoroughly explain everything.
Q. Who is your favorite teacher and why? Mr. Coady and Ms. Hubka share the title of my “favorite teacher.” Both of them never once doubted my ability to succeed and were always ready to challenge me if I needed it.
Q. If you could change one thing about your educational experience, what would it be and why? Though it is not directly linked to my educational experience, I wish scholarship resources were given, or at least explained, to us earlier. There are quite a few scholarships out there available for sophomores, juniors, and even freshmen in high school to start saving for college early. Starting scholarship applications as early as freshman year would have made my senior year — and many others — a bit less stressful.
Q. What accomplishment are you most proud of, and why? I believe taking Calculus B — what many consider the hardest calculus course — completely online and still ending the course with an ‘A’ might be the accomplishment I am most proud of. Of course, being the salutatorian for my graduating class is another accomplishment I am proud of.
