Which teachers and/or fellow students had a major influence on you?
Mr. Gillette and Mr. White both pop into my mind. They allowed me to express myself, but kept me within necessary boundaries—which I needed to thrive and grow both physically and mentally. What I cherished most about my teachers at USN was their ability to allow me to explore my own strengths in my own way. We were allowed to be individuals.
 
When not in class, how did you spend you time in school?
Laughing
 
What is your favorite memory of your time at PDS/USN?
The Helping Hands trip we took to Corbin, KY
 
What do you think people most remember about you from your school days?
How gullible I was
 
What is the most unusual thing you have done since high school?
Maybe crazy is the word to use, but opening our own winery. Never in a million years would I have guessed I would be living in Portland, OR with an Urban Winery!
 
What about you now would surprise your classmates?
That I have 3 Chihuahuas and I have Emma Sullivan to thank for it. Or maybe they wouldn't be so surprised!
