How did you plan your entrance to the assembly?

I was talking to my escort, Andrew Feldman, about it and we wanted to do something really funny. So I randomly came up with the idea of him being the bison, mostly joking, but he loved it! We had to figure out what I was going to wear, but once my friend told me about the overalls, we knew we had to do it!

How did you pick your escort, and how did you ask?

Andrew has been my friend since preschool, and when I was woken up, my first response was “I have to text Andrew right now.” So I did!

What did you do to prepare for the assembly?

That morning  Andrew and I practiced walking in with him wearing the bison outfit.

How would you react if you won?

I’d probably smile and turn red.

Tell us about your wakeups? How did you feel?

I was woken up at around 7:15am to a couple of boys and girls who had already been woken up yelling, “TOP TWELVE!!!! WAKE UP!!!!” It startled me at first, and I was a bit confused because it was so early on a Sunday morning, but I went with it. After, we went to eat bagels with the rest of the girls and it was super fun! I was so excited.

How did you find out you were in the top six? [Q&A conducted prior to top three selection]

Mr. A texted all of us in a group chat to congratulate us.

How did you pick your escort, how did you ask?

Aden and I have been friends since first grade. I wouldn’t have picked anyone else!

What did you do to prepare for the assembly?

I went to his house to pick out his clothes to wear. I told my parents and grandparents about it and [we selected] a song and a handshake to walk down to.

Tell us about your wakeups? How did you feel?

This year there were not a lot of volunteers to help with wakeups, but they were still fun! I was really surprised when I saw my friends in my room so early and wasn’t sure if I was actually awake or not.

How did you find out you were in the top six? [Q&A conducted prior to top three selection)

Mr. A texted us.

How did you plan your entrance to the assembly?

My friend Camille gave me the idea of dressing up as Kanye and Kim, which I thought would be really funny. She also gave me a lot of recommendations for outfits and songs since she is an avid Keeping up with the Kardashians watcher and I am not.

How did you pick your escort, how did you ask?

I picked my escort based on friendship and texted him.
