f school could be about one thing, what would you want it to be?

If you had a choice to come to school or not, would you come? Why?
“I would come, but probably just go to the classes that have teachers who teach a good lesson, and then skip out on the ones that just hand out worksheets everyday.”
What sports or activities have you participated in the past?

What are your greatest talents?

Do you like group or individual work? Why?
“I like working in a group since it gets things done a lot faster. Plus you have people to talk to while you're doing your homework.”
How do you organize your backpack or locker?
“I’m guessing you get this answer a lot but, I don’t. Not because I am too lazy, but mostly because it gets messed up anyways. I’m not going to waste my time on something that is going to be messed up in less than a second. However, I do organize it by the days. Like A day things are in my bag on an A day, and B day things on a B day.”
Do you get good grades? Do you think you could do better?
“I get good grades. Mostly A’s and B’s, so I do pretty good. Could I do better? Yes, definitely! Even though I get good grades as it is, I know I can move those B’s to A’s, and those A- to A+.”
