What extra-curricular activities were you involved in at Treynor?  I have been involved in the National Honors Society (3 years), Football cheer (4 years) Basketball cheer (2 years), Band (3.5 years), Wrestling cheer (3 years), and Softball (3 years).

If you have a day without commitments, what would you most likely be doing?  I would most likely be hanging out with friends or listening to music in my free time.

What are some of your favorites (e.g. food, movies, books)?   My favorite colors are blue and black. My favorite food is mac and cheese. My favorite dessert is brownies. My favorite TV show is "Castle". My favorite song is "Rewrite the Stars" from The Greatest Showman.

What will you miss the most about THS?  I will miss the community and the friends I have made throughout the years. I will also miss the teachers and the relationships I have built with them.

What advice would you give underclassmen?  Cherish the moments you have with your friends and classmates while you still have the time because graduation will come quicker than you think!  Seize the opportunities you have now because you may not get another opportunity in the future. Be sure to leave time out of your day to relax and not stress.
