Embedded Files

You probably know Jacob Blanton as the tall kid, which isn't wrong, but there's so much more to learn about him. Blanton is an avid Dr. Pepper lover who likes to watch "The Flash" and likes his eggs scrambled. He's currently a freshman who came back to Doniphan West after leaving at the end of third grade. Here are some of the things I learned from interviewing him -
Q: Where did you grow up?
A: Bendena, Kan.
Q: What are some of your hobbies?
A: I like to fix up old cars and I like computers. I like video games and working on my grandpa's farm. Coin collecting is also one of my hobbies.
Q: What is your favorite sport?
A: Football. I wish I could play, but I would die if I played.
Q: What is your favorite subject in school?
A: I guess I like math. I like band too, but I'll stick with math.
Q: What is your favorite day of the week and why?
A: Probably Friday because it starts the weekend and our football games are on Friday, so we sometimes do something peppy in school.
Q: Do you have any siblings? If so, how do you get along with them?
A: Yes, three. Cassidy, 12. Derek, 11. Vanessa, six. I get along with my sisters pretty well, but my brother is a little different. We don't like each other, so I just ignore him.
Q: What school activities are you involved in, or do you want to be involved in?
A: Currently involved in Kay Club, FFA, band and pep band. I want to play basketball and do track later in the year.
Q: What is your favorite season of the year? Why?
A: Winter, because it's my birthday season and there's Christmas, New Year's, winter break for school, Super Bowl for football, it snows, and it's cold. I'm a cold weather guy.
Q: What is your morning routine?
A: I wake up hating my alarm clock for waking me up, but then cheering up because it's a new day, go upstairs, take a shower, then go to the kitchen, eat a snack and take my allergy medicine. Then I go downstairs, get dressed and pack my bag, then go upstairs, brush my hair and teeth, and then grab a Dr. Pepper and wait for the bus.
Q: Do you own any pets? Give me some details about them.
A: No pets, but I really want a German Shepherd though. I used to have a guinea pig named Squeaky because she squeaked a lot, but my brother threw her, so we gave her away to a nice girl who loved guinea pigs.
Q: What do you think your spirit animal is?
A: Dog
Q: What genre of movies is your favorite and what is your favorite movie from that genre?
A: I don't watch a lot of movies but superheroes (action) movies are my favorite and I guess I like Iron Man.

Hello everyone! My name is Aly Gobin and I am a freshman at DWHS. I am a cross country runner and I like to sing, so I am also in choir. I love watching scary movies and eating popcorn. A fun fact about me is that I collect Snapple caps. Summer is my favorite season because we don't have school and I get to go to the beach in Rhode Island. I have two sisters and no brothers, and I'm also an aunt. I have two cats named Mischief and Willie and a dog named Dobby. I'm also taking journalism, which is why I'm here!
