Howdy - Charlie Grimes

My name is Charlie Grimes, and I would consider myself a man of many interests. Nine days into the relatively short summer, I took off alone from the homey Lexington airport and ventured into the unknown. Through an organization called Moondance Adventures, I met a group of 11 strangers and spent 3 weeks traveling through California. This trip included everything from backpacking 30 miles through the vast forests of Yosemite to surfing in Half Moon Bay, San Francisco. I can say with confidence that this was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and clearly the greatest collective moment of my summer. My academic goals include maintaining strong grades throughout the year, as well as preparing myself for the SAT and ACT. Despite having high academic goals, I would still like to have fun and make junior year memorable. If I could have any superpower, I would like to have total control of time (pause, rewind, etc.).

In addition to loving the outdoors, I have an undying love for TV, movies, and music. Rarely is there a time where I am not in the process of binge-watching a show. My favorite shows of all time include The Sopranos, The Wire, The Office, and The Simpsons. I am constantly in search of new movies and music as well. Lastly, I play lacrosse for Henry Clay, and also enjoy playing Frisbee with friends outside of school.

Hello, my name is James Pipeline Apo, and you can call me any of those names. I am a pretty easy going guy and I'd like to think getting along with me is not difficult. I was born in Hawaii and I luckily get to visit there on the breaks from school. I used to live in Minnesota, but I moved here in the middle of 2nd grade. I hope to make some college visits this school year and I would also like to achieve straight A's. Other than that, just having a fun school year would be ideal. The best moment of my summer was going body surfing on an 8 feet day. I am an adrenaline junkie, and although to most I might seem quiet, I am actually quite adventurous outside of school. Because of that fact, if I could have a superpower, I wish I could breathe forever underwater due to my love for the ocean. A passion of mine that I guess is 'geeky' would be my love for bowling. I began when I was 3 and my dad is a former pro, so he has always helped me to get better as I've grown up. Lastly, I am a big sports fan.

My name is John Sloan Warner III but I go by Sloan. My personal goals for junior year are to have a good mix between academics and fun, and my academic goals this year are to appreciate learning more and be more cognizant how lucky I am to be learning mostly all interesting information, but also, to make great grades (hopefully all A’s). Summer of 2014 was one for the books. The first month of summer, I was in town for one day if that tells you anything about my summer. It was a lot of vacation with so many wonderful memories, but one of the best times I had all summer was going to the Bahamas with my friend and getting the royal treatment. Flying on a private plane down, we stayed on his family’s 135 foot yacht for 5 days which was the best vacation I could ever ask for. If I had one super power, I would probably make myself resistant to extreme cold, so I could live with either the penguins or polar bears and learn their ways. I also may consider shooting money out of my hands as my super power. Both have a good argument for choosing them.

Hi Professor Log Dog and others who read this, I am 16 years old and i sit in that back corner row of the classroom under the "No Food or Drinks in the classroom"(probably not actual quote) sign. My personal and academic goals for this year are to get good grades and other generic phrases you hear from every student. But in order to bore you and meet the 150 word requirement, I will go on to identify what they are. I want to get all A's, a good ACT score, participate in clubs, and most importantly have fun learning. I play tennis and occasionally dabble in other sports. During the summer i did absolutely nothing so the highlight of my summer, and every other student, was most certainly your summer homework. If I were to choose a superpower I would pick the power of friendship because its in literally(not figuratively) every movie. Without a doubt if every movie hero succeeds with the power of friendship then it is most definitely the greatest power. I also enjoy reading books with legible words in them printed on paper. These words, preferably, should also be cohesive and interesting so I want to continue reading. I also like South Park on Comedy Central(c)(<--copyright sign) .As this is nearing the 150 word requirement i will discontinue what I am talking about to fulfill the bare minimum.

Something that geeks me out is Mr.Behler and the photos that were found of him taking selfies and such.
