Grade: Ninth Grade
Age: 14
Years at Riverside Prep: 7
1. What do you like most about going to Riverside Prep? The unexpectedness of seniors being cool with freshmen, it was a weird experience. I thought it'd be like the movies where they wouldn't mingle, but that hasn't been the case, which is great.
2. What's your favorite subject/teacher and why? My favorite class is math with Ms. Craig. It's a tougher class and she holds you to way higher standards than I expected. I like to be pushed. I also really like Ms. Neal, who I have for freshman seminar. She's just been able to control the class and really make you feel like that's your class. She feels like someone who can really change somebody's life for the better.
3. What do you like to do outside of school? I like to read, play video games and just do exercise.
4. What is the best and worst part about being in high school? The best part is growing up, getting older and having more opportunities. The worst part is just being a freshman.
5. What do you want to do after you graduate? I want to be a pilot and then get into politics. I want to be an Air Force fighter pilot. I want to be a representative and eventually become president.
Comment from Ms. Neal: "He is involved in Cadet Corps and track. He is always on task and willing to help others improve. He never complains about any assignment and always has a smile on his face. He is a true leader who is not influenced by the actions of others."
