POW: Tristan Johnson, 11

“What are you thankful for?”

“I’m thankful that for the opportunity I had to attend a leadership conference with many of my friends in September.”

“What did you do at the conference?”

“We attended lots of workshops and I became at Missouri Thespian Officer. Later this year I will attend national workshops to learn how to improve our school’s already awesome theater department ”

“How did you become a Missouri Thespian Officer?”

“I had to decide before the conference if I wanted to run for office or not. I’m really thankful for Mrs. Gossett and Ezgi Ilhan, who graduated last year and was a state officer before me. They really helped me prepare for what I would say during Q and A sessions and helped calm my nerves.”
