What was the funniest thing, or the thing you will remember most, about high school? There are a lot of things I remember about high school. I couldn't possibly pick just one. Friday night football games, waking up early in the morning and earnestly wishing I could go back to sleep, the dreaded test, the piles of homework, the encouraging words from many teachers, the friendships I have made, the lessons I have learned, and so much more from little ole Bangs will be with me forever, There was one time, however, when I was baking cookies and I didn't know you couldn't stick wax paper into the oven. The cookies were cooking for maybe 5-7 minutes when we smelled something burning. Well, after we realized what caused the smoke and who did it (me), the guys wrote my name on the burnt piece of wax paper and hung it on the wall so everyone could see who was guilty of causing so much smoke and the horrid burning smell. Oops!

What advice do you have for underclassmen to survive high school? My advice to the underclassman is to fully rely on God, I've learned that if you develop a walk with the Lord and lean on Him for understanding, then everything is going to be OK. Pray so him for strength, direction in your life and for anything you need. He knows the desires of our hearts and he loves us. So, the greatest advice I could possibly give anyone is to trust in the Lord and know, without a doubt, that he will come through for you and he will guide you in anything and everything you do.

What will you have to tell your classmates at your 10-year high school reunion? At my 10-year high school reunion, I'll probably just catch up with everyone and show off pictures of my kiddos. Whoa, that's kind of scary to think about!
