As I have been a part of the Ledger since the beginning of this school year (August 2023), I thought it would be appropriate to share more about myself with Ledger readers. In the same format as staff spotlights and senior spotlights, I answered some fun and interesting questions to help you get to know me and give a little bit more context to my writing.
- Where am I from originally? I was born in Virginia Beach, but moved to Oregon when I was eight years old. When I was fourteen, I moved back to Virginia, specifically Williamsburg.
- What do I love about LHS? I love seeing my friends every day, and the variety of levels of classes taught here. I feel like you can find classes that fit your prior knowledge on a subject.
- What is my favorite subject to learn? I think science is very interesting and fun, even though I am not super good at it.
- What grade am I in/how long have I been at LHS? I am a junior, and I have been at Lafayette all three years of my high school career.
- What college(s) am I interested in? I am interested in Virginia Tech, NYU (New York University), Roanoke College, and University of London. I am also looking into potential universities in Spain, and others in London.

- If you could meet anyone from the past, who would I choose and why? I think anyone from ancient Rome or Egypt would be super interesting. I would ask them where their tombs were and get super rich from finding them.
- What are my hobbies? I enjoy reading, writing, hanging out with my friends, watching movies, and painting.
- What is my ideal vacation? A big city, like NYC or London, or somewhere tropical, like Hawaii.
- What is my dream job? I am still not fully sure, but something journalism based, or law based seems like it could be a good fit for me. But if money did not matter, I think working at a coffee shop or cafe would be fun long-term.
- If I could live anywhere, where would it be? Almost any big city, I would love to live somewhere that is always exciting.
- What is my favorite color M&M? The green M&M.
- What is my favorite color? Red.
- What is my favorite sitcom? Community or Parks & Rec if those count as sitcoms.
- What is my favorite music artist? Drake.
- What is my favorite movie? LaLa Land or Lego Batman.
My favorite season of the school year is football season, due to all the creative themes. (Harper Brandenburger)
