Favorite memory of high school: Running in the conference cross-country race my senior year, I collapsed 50 feet from the finish line while in 5th place. But I managed to get up and finish the race in 7th place, securing the championship for my team, before passing out and being sent to the hospital for dehydration.

Favorite quote: “To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other and to feel.  That is the purpose of life.” –from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
