Sibley.

Favorite teacher of all time and why?

I have three favorite teachers, but I enjoyed all of the teachers who taught me. First, Mrs. Shahan; I had her in second grade. She was always bubbly and fun! Second, Mrs. Skinness; I had her in sixth grade. She was the teacher to go to if you had any questions. She is so sweet and kind! Lastly, Mrs. Ness, who I currently have. She lights up a person’s day if you are feeling sad. She always pushes us to do our best!

Favorite book/author:

“The Blossoming Universe of Violet Diamond” by Brenda Woods.

Competition dance at UPDS, soccer, yearbook committee, viola and involved in church.

What do you want to do after high school?

I want to be an elementary or middle school teacher or a photographer.

What advice would you give to younger students in Albert Lea?

Do what you believe in and be confident in yourself. Whenever you have an opportunity, take it because you don’t know where it lead to.
