If you could pick anyone beside yourself to win  who would it be?

Anyone would be a perfect candidate, but I would pick Marissa because she has the craziest, most contagious laugh I have ever heard in my entire life and she is a quirky teen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. She also shreds the violin, documents every quote that someone says to her snapchat story, and provides me with random tweets every hour via Twitter DM. Her dog, Brownie, is a living meme.

Favorite movie?

“10 Things I Hate About You”

What advice would you give to underclassmen about high school? About life?

It sounds cliché, but your years in high school will go by faster and faster as they continue. Get involved in everything you can; clubs, school events, dances, etc., because they really do make a difference in your time at TWP. Never be afraid to branch out from what you’re used to. Meet new people, try new things, and set high goals.

What teacher or faculty member has made the biggest impact on your high school career?

Sitting in I-211 for all 3 of his classes throughout high school has made me think, smile, and even cry over a computer program about Chick-Fil-A… I have never met a teacher who has made me laugh so hard while also preparing me for my intended major in college. Thanks, Fausty!!!

Who in your life has had the biggest influence on you?

Also, thank you for blessing me with the sense of humor that I have. I am forever thankful 🙂

What is one thing you cannot live without?

What has been the best part about being on the Homecoming Court?

For starters, this entire experience has been legen…wait for it…dary. The best part of being on Homecoming Court has been, one, getting closer with each of the 11 other girls who were elected.
