What is the memory of high school you will never forget: Our senior trip to Florida. It was amazing being with my friends at Disney World and Universal Studios, which are both places that I love going to. I won’t forget the sudden downpour in Magic Kingdom at Disney World on our second day, which left my shoes quite moist for the rest of the trip. It has given me many funny stories that I’m sure I will be telling for a very long time.
Which teacher had the biggest impact on you and why: Mrs. McKinley because she has not only been a great French teacher, dedicating time and energy to ensure that the students, including myself, understand what they are learning. She has also helped me grow as an individual. She has allowed my classmates and I to freely express our thoughts and opinions on a variety of topics, not just limited to French. This greatly influenced my perspective in life and has given me an opportunity to understand how others might think. She will always be one of my favorite teachers, and I will always remember the four years I spent in her classroom.
