I really love working in Spanish class. My favorite activity in Spanish class is skits. I make them with Charlotte. They are usually about a character named Teresa. She left her husband at the alter and everyone was shocked. Overall, it was fun for the people involved but not very entertaining for our peers.

“Im in this darn thing right now called How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and it is a really cool musical. It’s really great getting to do the school play because it starts so early in the year. If you’re a freshman and youre starting off and you aren’t comfortable yet at the school, but you love music or musical theater or dancing or acting, you can do the musical. With the musical, you get such a close group of people. What is really great about having such a tight knit cast is that is that the upperclassmen talk to the freshmen like they’re best friends. We joke with each other. We all have inside jokes. It is really welcoming, and it feels so awesome that I have this tightly knit community that I can talk to.”

I enjoy video games because they are a way for people to escape. If you are having a bad day or you just need a little fun, just pop in your favorite game. I personally get in some arguments with my brother occasionally, but like ten minutes later we will be locked in a match of Super Smash Bros or Mario Party and completely over whatever was going on between us. They are just a great way to escape whatever is troubling you and have fun.
