Lizz Stroud (12th grade) 

  1. I guess one that stands out to me is that we don’t do much anymore and we definitely aren’t doing this year is playing in the church band because all my sisters play instruments. Alex plays oboe, Tori plays saxophone and so do I, and we play and it’s fun because we don’t usually go to church. It’s like a way to give back to the community one last time, and it’s a great way to celebrate what you have and especially spend time with my sisters who don’t live with me anymore. 
  2. I haven’t thought about it much but if i were to be completely honest it would be to work out more and to do more at-home workouts because obviously, right now, the gym is a little dangerous. I want to do that to get ready for the field hockey season that is starting in February.
  3. Honestly I love a good ramen, but like ramen with veggies in it. I try to make it healthy by adding veggies and hot stuff and stuff.
  4. A quarantine band that I have gotten into over the past few months is Lake Street Drive, mainly because its chill but it’s also really easy to sing out in the car, and if anything, quarantine has taught me is that it is so therapeutic to sing in the car when you need to get away from your family. Oh, and of course Megan Thee Stallion.
  5. I will be studying computer science in college and I would love to go into that field, and I’m excited by the prospect of whatever I will end up doing eventually, might be something completely different than what I expected.
