Also, Mr. Blomarz is a great teacher. My favorite class overall was History and Thought of the Western Man because we learned very interesting facts and theories and the teachers were fantastic. We also engaged in many fun, challenging projects.
- Favorite teachers: My favorite teachers are: Mr. Rado, Mr. Blomarz, Ms. Franklin and Mrs. Bloodgood. They’re all just great teachers and all-around cool people.

- College choice/major: I have been accepted at Evangel University in Springfield, Mo. I am waiting to hear from Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. If I attend Evangel, I will pursue an English major.
