1. What are you most excited about this year?
   1. I can’t wait to go to college and start my life. I am excited to hangout with my friends and go to soccer games.
2. What class is most exciting to you?
   1. For me, it would be environmental science AP because I actually like the class. The topic is riveting and it might be something I want to pursue in the future.
3. Who is your favorite teacher for this year?
   1. My favorite teacher this year would have to be Mrs. Gribbin because she believes in her students and gives them all her attention.
4. Are you excited about leaving Oratory and going to college?
   1. I am extremely excited to leave Oratory and go to college because I can finally pursue my interest in becoming an engineer.
5. Where is your best strength in the classroom? Weakness?
   1. My best strength in the classroom is my ability to not let the pressure get to me. I remain very calm in most situations and make logical decisions. My weakness would have to be my tendency to get off task. Following a set of rules and a schedule is very hard for me.
6. What will you excel at the most this year?
   1. I am going to excel at doing just the bare minimum. I intend to keep my grades up but not to over do it because this is senior year.
7. What are some of your goals that you had coming into senior year, and how do you plan on fulfilling them?
   1. Well, my only goal I really had was finishing the common app and I have not accomplished that yet. I went into senior with little expectations because I usually let things happen and go with the flow.
8. How do you plan on changing Oratory this year?
   1. I plan on helping with adding more music to mass and make it more fun for people.
9. What will be the most difficult class this year and why?
   1. My Spanish IV Honors class will be the hardest because I hate language-based subjects. I find it very hard to understand and it takes a lot of time for me to memorize the grammar and new words.
10. What do you think needs to be improved at Oratory this year?
    1. When they replaced the paper towels in the bathroom, I was heart broken. The new hand dryers don’t dry your hands and only make noise. We asked for improved bathrooms last year but we never intended this to happen.
