I haven’t said too much. It’s not my high school experience.

What extracurriculars are you involved in this year?

Football and possibly a few other things. I’m not sure yet.

What will be the best part of having your sibling at the same school as you?

getting to try and embarrass her by yelling for her in the halls.

Will you miss your sibling when you graduate?

Maybe a little, but I’ll be okay.
