Q: What/who inspires you and why?

A:  My dad inspires me because I have been around him my whole life and I follow what he does.  He is just overall a good role model. 

Q: What are some big responsibilities you have in your life?

A: Over the summer I worked at a bike shop where I sold bikes and also worked on bikes.  This was a job where I could be responsible, but it was also a lot of fun.  

Q: What else do you do for fun?

A: primarily, I play football in the fall and this is my first year playing, I wrestle in the winter, and I sprint for track in the spring.  

Q: What prompted you to take journalism? 

A: First of all, it was recommended to me by other people that took the class.  It is also a class where I can write about what I want and not have to follow a prompt.  Finally, I had to take it because Mrs. Fransen was the teacher.
