1. If you knew you had to lock yourself in a room with a hungry tiger in it, what would you take in there with you for the tiger to eat instead of you? (This tiger eats all things and will want to be friends with you after you feed it.)
Hm...I would bring some tofu and turn it vegetarian, and then we would cuddle forever.
2. Describe to us your ways of procrastination.
So I get home from school after play practice around 6 30 right? Then I give myself 30 minutes to relax by watching TV, telling m self that 7:00 sharp is study time. 7:15 I enter my room and begin ILS, where I then fall asleep on my desk. 7:30 i drag myself to my bed where I proceed to sleep for "just 20 minutes mom" 8:30 I wake up, go yell at my mom for not waking me up enough, slip in a little homework and then I insist that its time for dinner, giving me the excuse to watch another TV show. Then I'm up till 1 am doing work yay!
3. Do you like being a senior?
Love/hate relationship. I love going off campus and coming back feelin all cool with ma Tierney's bag but I'm not sure its worth all the stress...
4. Tell us how green you are! Why green?
So basically one day my mom came to me and showed me this company about helping local farms called Just Food. I was already totally into home grown veggies because we would always grow tomatoes and other fun stuff at my house up in Connecticut, and this compan basically was a way for volunteers to help start local gardens all around the city. I wanted to find a way to get Riverdale involved in Just Food, but as I tried to develop a way to get kids interested, I found it would be easier to start my own garden initiative on campus. I went to the faculty advisor of the sustainability committee, Mr. Patnaude, and he put me in touch with the head of Pre-K development, with whom I then organized m 6 week summer job! I basically went to the lower campus four days a week, four hours a day and did what needed to be done around the gardens (weed, mulch, harvest, water etc) When the fruits and veggies started coming in, I used money from the budget to buy a food scale and I weighed all the harvest and made a really cute excel spread sheet!! Now we've started out the school year with a re-vamped Sustainability Committee and we already have pages and pages of new ideas. Everything is looking really amazing and I'm sooo excited to see what gets done around the Riverdale campus this year!!
