What was the funniest thing, or thing you will remember most, about high school? The thing I will remember most is being the Salutatorian and having to choose between being at my graduation ceremony or attending the state track meet in Austin to run on the 800 m relay.
What advice do you have for underclassmen to survive high school? I would tell them to not wait until the last minute to do class projects or research papers.  Also, I would tell them to live in the present moment and don't worry about the future.  Enjoy high school while it lasts, because in a blink of an eye, it's over.
What will you tell your classmates at your 10-year high school reunion? I would tell them I graduated TCU and I went on to pursue a career in the medical field.
