A: Being class president, I can use my influence to get things to happen.

Q: Would you rather stick your foot in a bowl of cooked spaghetti or bathe in marinara sauce?

A: Foot in spaghetti. That’s way less gross than taking a bath in marinara sauce.

Q: Chocolate or vanilla?

A: Vanilla.

Q: What are your goals as class president?

A: I just want to make a greater difference and a greater impact on my fellow classmates.

A: 10,000 hours, by Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber.

Q: What do you enjoy most about being class president?

A: It’s nice knowing I’m responsible for something greater than myself. I’m partially responsible for the happiness of my classmates.

Q: What’s your favorite color? Any particular reason why?

A: White, because white is the absence of all color… I always want to be adding to my life, and you can always add to white.

Q: Do you think you’ll run for office again next year? What position?

A: Maybe? I have no idea what position though.

Q: What do you like the most about playing volleyball and softball?
