Upperclass Acts

Alana Christianson MOST POSITIVE MOMENT: My most positive moment of high school is probably getting first place at an invitational for swim because I was very proud of myself. PET PEEVES: When people use the wrong form of “your,” “to,” or “there” as if this wasn’t something we learned in grade school. WHAT MY FRIENDS WILL REMEMBER ABOUT ME: My friends might say that I work hard especially when it comes to school because they have seen how stressed out I have been over my classes before. HOW WOULD YOU SPEND $1,000,000? I would spend $1,000,000 by giving some back to my family for all of the money they have spent on me. I would keep some of the money for myself, and then I would probably donate a lot of it to charity because I don’t need that much money. IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND, WHAT 3 ITEMS WOULD YOU WANT WITH YOU? I would want a boat, a supply of food, and a supply of drinking water. LAST WORDS OF ADVICE: “My words of advice would be to just enjoy high school because it goes by really fast, and also to work really hard because it will get you far.”
