Misgana Kiflom
What hobbies/extracurricular activities have you been involved in throughout high school?
“Yeah, so right now I’m currently a BSU co-president…it’s my second year doing that. I’m also in NHS. I’m not that active, but I love going to Amnesty International. It’s a human rights club so it’s really great.”
What’s something you wish you knew going into high school?
“I like the rule: if you aren’t going to remember it or it’s not going to affect you in a year or two, why stress out about it so much? When you are stressing over something you can’t change (like a test score), you might as well relax.”
What are some of the things that you enjoyed the most about being at high school?
“You don’t have a small circle anymore like
compared to middle school and elementary school. You’ve known those people for years and years and then when you enter high school, you have a plethora of different perspectives.”
Izzy Crave
What have you been involved in throughout high school?
“I haven’t been involved in much. I’ve been in culinary arts, which I really loved and then I was also the former captain of the wrestling team, and I was (captain) for three years.”
What’s something that you wish you knew going into high school?
“It goes by really fast, like really stupid fast. You don’t really realize it but all of a sudden you only have one year left or three weeks left.”
What do you think you’re going to miss most?
“Some of the people for sure. I grew up in the area so I’ve known some of the people since I was 6 years old and now I’m going to not see them ever again.”
Are there any sports you wish you had tried or other activities that you wish you had done?
“I only did culinary for a year. I wish I did more of it. I wish I did more clubs just in general.”
Caleb Birku
What have you been involved with in high school (sports, clubs, anything like that)?
“I’m in some clubs. I’m in Scuffle club, where we play fighting games and I’m in
Rhythmates where we play rhythm games. We all hang out and have fun.”
When did you join those clubs?
“I joined them about a year ago. Rhythmates was pretty popular last year, Scuffle club, I’ve been pretty much there this whole time. It’s just me and my friends playing video games but we made it work. It’s been around for four years.”
What were some of your favorite parts of Shorewood
specifically?
“My favorite parts were walking around the school, talking to
people I know, and going to the library.”
What’s something you wish you knew going into high school?
“It’s not like what people say and (people should) learn to not
procrastinate so much. Other than that (they should) just chill and go with the flow.”
What was your favorite year of high school?
“I’d say senior year. I’m close to leaving and at the same time because I’m a senior, I get to have more free time and just do whatever I want.”
Mollie Simmons
What activities have you been involved with in high school?
“I’ve been a part of clubs, mostly through school and that’s really all. I’ve been a part of
psychology club for all four years, and then for two years I was a part of HAFS
(freshman-sophomore).”
What’s something that you wish you knew going into high school?
“Most importantly (you should) stay on top of work because otherwise you will fall behind really quickly. Get a change of scenery, meet new people, and do different things.”
What’s something that you wish you had done throughout high school?
“I wish I had met (more) new people. Getting into high school, I wasn’t hanging out with new people, I was just hanging out with the same people over and over and I was
trailing behind while they were moving forward.”
What’s one of the things that you enjoyed the most about
being at high school?
“I enjoyed going around the club fair and seeing how
creative people are, with not only the club names but what they are.”
What’s one thing you would say to Shorewood
students?
“Get out there and do things you wouldn’t normally do, and don’t care about what other people think.”
