What has been your favorite memory at Linganore?

What are you going to miss most after graduating?
“I’m going to miss my friends the most. Linganore brought us together and now that’s all over. We’ll be all over the place.”
Do you feel pressure to have your future be decided already?
“I feel a decent bit of pressure but not as much as I thought I would. I have a general idea of what I want to do but, I don’t think it’s the end of the world if I want to do something different.”
Best High School memory?
“All my friends coming and cheering me on at my senior night for Ice Hockey. It was the most people I’ve ever had cheering for me at a game.”
What is the most challenging task as a senior?
“For me, probably, trying to find a way to stop procrastinating and make sure I was submitting all my college applications on time.”
What advice do you have for incoming freshmen?
“Get involved! I don’t care what it is, but join a club or play, or even a sport. You’ll meet some of your best friends there.”
Where do you imagine yourself 10 years from now?
“I image myself with a job and financially independent and hopefully starting to make a family somewhere.”
What was the most meaningful assignment a teacher ever had you do?
“My first English 101 assignment: How to be Me. I had to really look at myself and ask myself, ‘Who am I?'”
When you look back on this school in later years, what will you remember most?
“I will always remember all the fun I had with my friends and especially with the band. No matter what anyone says about the band or who is in it, participating was the best decision. I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.”
