Q: Do you participate in any extracurricular activities outside of school? If so, what are they? What do you enjoy most about them?

Q: What is one study technique that has helped you so far in high school? When have you used it and to what effect?
A: The most helpful study tool I have used is probably Quizlet because you can use the study option, and it reviews things for you.

I use Quizlet for a majority of my classes when I need to memorize something quickly or study.

Q: Who is your favorite teacher? And why? What is one aspect of this teacher’s class or teaching style that you enjoy?

She is also one of those teachers who goes above and beyond to make sure that all students understand what is being taught, making sure that they are in the right place mentally and physically.
