What is your “senior quote”?
- “I wanna be defined by the things that I love, not the things I hate. Not the things that I’m afraid of. You are what you love.” – Taylor Swift.
What has been your favorite class?
- “My favorite class was AP Environmental Science with Mr. Crowley. I took it my junior year, and we always had the best time. I also loved AP US History with Ms. Kenny and AP Government with Mr. Gibbons.
What are your plans for the future?
- “I will be attending SUNY New Paltz in the fall. I will be majoring in sociology, possibly adding psychology as a second major. Eventually, I’d like to become a school counselor.”
During your time at ERHS, who has positively impacted your life?
- “I have had the privilege of having so many amazing teachers, counselors, and friends while at ERHS. It would be hard to name just one person who impacted my life, but I am very grateful for the entire Guidance Department. They helped me realize what career I wanted to pursue.”
What advice do you have for next year’s seniors?
- “Even if you have taken AP classes all throughout high school, do not be afraid to take a regular class if you feel it will be better suited for you. It’s okay to not be in all AP classes.”
What will you miss most about ERHS?
- “I will miss my friends and amazing teachers. There are so many teachers I have had at ERHS that I will never forget, and I will be eternally grateful to have been taught by them.”
