If you could have a movie made about your life, what would be the storyline, and who would play you? <\/strong>\u201cI feel like the storyline would be something kind of like a Dale Earnhardt-type life. Kid grew up in a big town around racing, falls in love with it, but then father gets hurt, and suddenly he becomes fearful and hesitant that that\u2019s the career he wants to go into. I don\u2019t know who would play me. Probably Christian Bale, don\u2019t know, just like Christian Bale. Actually, I change my answer. Leonardo DiCaprio. He and I share a birthday. Title? I don\u2019t think I have a title. Probably \u2018Things Change\u2019 or \u2018Life Changes.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

What are your three must haves? \u201c<\/strong>Music, family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is the best part about social media and what is the worst part about social media?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like the best part about social media is being able to stay in contact with people you meet on trips or people that go to different schools. Just being able to catch up and see what their lives are up to. I feel like the worst part is sometimes how social media makes people feel. Some social media perpetuates untrue stereotypes and stuff like that, so I\u2019m not a big fan of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you admire about Gen Z and what do you dislike about it? \u201c<\/strong>I love how aware and not afraid Gen Z is to speak their minds and speak for what they feel is right. But another thing is that Gen Z doesn\u2019t know their limits. They don\u2019t know when to stop about that, they don\u2019t know when it\u2019s crossing a line between someone\u2019s personal life and professional life.\u201d<\/p>\n

How has the pandemic affected you?<\/strong> \u201cThe pandemic hit when I was in eighth grade. It\u2019s a little silly, but I didn\u2019t have an eighth grade graduation and our eighth grade trip we didn\u2019t have either. It was a little tough just because you look forward to it throughout your schooling and getting there without it was just a bit disappointing and not right.\u201d<\/p>\n

How do you handle mental health? <\/strong>\u201cI have a journal where I strive to, each night or each week, write a synopsis or something. It could be a sentence, or a word, or three paragraphs about what I feel, what I want to feel, or what I\u2019m proud of myself for today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? <\/strong>\u201cI could be doing a number of things, but the field I want to go into is broadcast journalism. I want to work on TV, hopefully some local news department. I feel like it would be fun to do national news at ABC or one of the big companies. I do want to start off a little slow. I think I\u2019ll be a local host, and if not, I want to be playing hockey somewhere. Could be overseas or could be top tier.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you could live anywhere in the world for one year, where would it be and why? <\/strong>\u201cMonaco, they have the Grand Prix and a lot of F1. It\u2019s a really affluent country. The weather\u2019s beautiful and the architecture is relatively nice. It\u2019s relatively small, so if I lived there, I\u2019d get to experience a little bit of everything in Monaco and have enough time to spend where I want to in the good parts of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who or what inspires you?<\/strong> \u201cI think currently, my biggest inspiration draws from actors. I\u2019m someone who watches a crapload of films and that\u2019s just the way I know myself. One of my current favorites is Brian Cranston. He\u2019s most known for his work on \u2018Breaking Bad\u2019 which is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. What I really like about him is how he\u2019s made connections through that show almost 10 years ago and still keeps up with those friends. I want to be like that. I want to meet friends and I want to meet people. I want to be successful but still remember my roots and who I grew up with. I don\u2019t want to stray away from that.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you could trade places with the president of the United States for one day, what would you do? \u201c<\/strong>I would pressure Russia and Ukraine, probably the most they\u2019ve been, to reach at least a stalemate or ceasefire for the time being. I would also become an advocate for stronger gun control surrounding schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you consider your greatest accomplishment? <\/strong>\u201cMy greatest personal accomplishment would probably be receiving national recognition for my news stories.”<\/p>\n

What is your biggest regret? \u201d<\/strong>Not putting as much effort into relationships with friends and partners than I would\u2019ve liked to. I wish I would\u2019ve been there for them, cared a little more and not been as selfish.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
