What activities/sports are you involved in at OW?
OWTV, O.W.L.S, National Honor Society, FCA, DECA
What teacher has impacted you most and why?
Mr. Krzykowski has impacted me most here at West because of his caring personality. Every day since I met him walking into AI as a freshman until today, he has greeted everyone in our class by name. Along with that, I admire his strong faith and incredible stories from when he was little. “That’s tons of fun.”
What is your favorite OW tradition and why?
My favorite OW tradition is either getting everyone together after any sporting event and singing out Alma Mater, or our annual beatdown against ONW in any given sport.
What is your favorite OW memory and why?
It’s hard to say I have one favorite memory because the thing I think about most is all the people I’ve met in my four years here. But I sure did like going into ONW and Kevin Sealing the game with a fast break dunk.
If you could accomplish ONE thing while you are in high school at OW, what would it be and why?
If I could accomplish one thing here at West, it would have to be trying to leave a positive impact on everyone in the school. It’s easy to be nice and fun around your friends, but it’s important to break away from your group and leave kindness and joy with everybody around you. I want to accomplish a school where nobody is left out.
What is your favorite inspirational quote?
My favorite inspiration quote is, “You climb the mountain to see the world, not for the world to see you.” - Jackson Hyer
What are your post-high school plans?
To study Entrepreneurship at Kansas State University and become stupid rich and golf everyday.
