Favorite memory of school: I used to say my favorite memory was playing Rizzo in Grease my junior year. It taught me more about myself than I could have ever expected, and I will never love a character more. An extension of that, however, was becoming the choreographer Crockett Middle School’s production of “The Little Mermaid.” It is peculiar to watch such a big part of your life end, but it is beautiful to watch it begin for another. It was not easy, but I would do it again if I had the opportunity. I loved those kids.
