Where did you go to high school?

Nerinx Hall High School in Webster Groves.

How was high school similar/different to high school now?

There were only girls there and technology was different. We had a computer lab compared to everyone having their own computer. Internet was fairly new, we used it for email and chat rooms.

What year did you graduate?

1998.

Were you involved in any sports or clubs? What did you like about it?

I was in the Select Women’s Choir and Honors Choir. I liked singing and my choir director was Jeffery Scott Maynard. We took trips, for competitions, to New York and Florida.

What is the funniest thing that happened during high school?

For Senior Skip Day, I rewrote a Tupac song, and performed it onstage in front of the entire student body.

What were your favorite and least favorite subjects in high school? Why?

My favorite subject was English because I was great at stretching a two page paper into a five page paper. My least favorite was math because I was never good at math.
