Reed Senska is a junior. She plays volleyball for Sanborn Central and likes it for the most part. Her favorite sport to watch in high school is basketball, but her favorite to play is volleyball. She likes volleyball for the team experience and the friends she’s made. She doesn’t really enjoy the school lunches, but her favorite lunch is the Blackhawk Bowl. She also has some classes she really dislikes, and some she really enjoys. A class she wouldn’t want to take over again would be math. She says she procrastinates too much on the subject. She really enjoys Mr. Flatten’s class, but her favorite class is journalism because she can "mess around." She does not want to take any class over again. She would like to be done with all the homework, but she would rather work on homework with others instead of by herself if she has any. She doesn’t want to go to college, she would much rather stay in high school. When she does go to college, she wants to either go to SDSU or USD. When she graduates, she wants to be rich, and when she is old enough, she would love to travel to Hawaii or Africa. Reed really hates Mondays.

Another thing she likes to do is watch "Criminal Minds" and hang out with friends. Kenlie’s most embarrassing moment is when the car would not start. She was in the Walmart parking lot with a friend. They had to get a few groceries, and her little sister said she started the car. Kenlie got in the vehicle and put it in reverse, assuming that it was started. She pushed on the gas and the car would not move, and the steering wheel and gas pedal won’t work. She put it in drive and the car started rolling backwards. She put the emergency brake on and started freaking out. Eventually Kenlie got out and asked a random lady what to do.The lady had no clue. Finally, she took the key and turned it all the way. Turns out the car hadn't started.
