What is your favorite class? Latin, because with Mr. Glennon, you can learn just about all of the subjects. He’s a cool guy.

What is your toughest class? English, because of the deep thinking and workload.

How do you balance your class work and your extracurricular activities? The way that works best for me is doing a little work and then something else for a while before returning to work.

What is the biggest challenge high school students face today? I think that the biggest challenge is social status. There’s always pressure.

Who has inspired you educationally? I would have to say that William Glennon has inspired me because he brought out of me an interest in topics I never before explored.
