What is your favorite memory at Xavier:
Freshman Year: Making so many new friends, the Frosh Mixer, and Brophy football games

Sophomore Year: Playing hackie-sack with Father Muir and finally getting my license

Junior Year: Running on the cross country team, acting in The Music Man, and prom

Senior Year: Getting a part in Hairspray and receiving our occasional senior treats at lunch

Who was your favorite teacher and class?
My favorite teacher was Mr. Ward in Sculpture.

What do you wish you would have known before attending Xavier?
I wish that I would have known how beneficial joining Xavier's clubs would be.

How difficult is Xavier? Is it really that tough?
It all depends on the class and teacher, but as long as you study and work hard, you will get the grades you are aiming for. Also the rumor is true: junior year is the hardest.

What advice would you give to a new incoming Freshman?
Don't procrastinate and leave homework and studying until the last minute. Also, just to keep your great friends close and your best friends closer! High school flies by so keep your priorities straight, take pictures, and have fun!

Do Xavier girls only date Brophy boys?
Typically yes, mostly because our social events only include Brophy and Xavier. It is pretty nice to get a break from boys during the school week, though!

What college will you be attending and why?
It is too early to know yet and I have not decided on which college I will be attending.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
When I grow up I want to be a photo journalist and travel all over the world, publishing my photos and articles for a travel magazine.

Are you going to join a sorority or a club in college?
I am definitely joining a sorority in college to continue making life long friendships through a sisterhood, like I have at Xavier.

If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?
Once I have graduated from college, I am planning on joining the Peace Corps to help change the poor education systems in South America.
