What class do you find really engaging and why?: I have always really enjoyed math classes. Right now I am in AP Calculus, and I love finding the answer to challenging problems. My love of math is what got me interested in engineering. I want a career that uses a lot of math.

What are your two favorite extracurricular, volunteer or community activities you participate in?: My two favorite activities are football and Boy Scouts. I have been doing football since fourth grade, and there are a lot of great traditions on our team. Being in football has allowed me to learn a lot about my faith and helping the community. Boy Scouts has given me many amazing opportunities. I have been able to meet a lot of people, learn life skills like first aid, go on a lot of campouts, volunteer and go on a two-week backpacking trip in New Mexico.
