HC: What was the biggest challenge that you have had to face coming from Texas to Geneva?
RS: The hardest thing for sure was having to drive. It is so long and gets pretty boring after a while. By now I am a pro and I have done the drive three times. The last two times I have had my friend or my parents in the car, so now I at least could talk to someone. I also had the monkey with me the whole time so that was nice…the monkey is the name of my lime green car.
HC: Where would you go in a time machine?
RS: Could I go anywhere? Well if that is the cases I would want to go to the Death Star. Then when I was there I could just chill with Darth Vador.
HC: What do you look for in a girl?
RS: I always look for someone that is easy to talk to and I can hangout with. The first thing that I notice are their eyes. I love when girls has nice eyes. I am not sure what else I guess just an all around nice girl.
HC: Do you live by a motto?
RS: Work hard, play hard
HC: Most embarrassing moment?
RS: My most embarrassing moment was when I got stripped down to my underwear by people in the grade above me. Then got thrown into the girls locker room, back then it was so uncomfortable, but now I would just own it.
HC: If you could have a theme song to your life what would it be?
RS: That would definitely be Carolina by Eric Church. I just love that song and all country music. It is the best!!
HC: What is something most people don’t know about you?
RS: I have many hidden talents. I am able to move my tendon in my knuckle on my right hand. I can wiggle my ears as well. I think the coolest thing that I can do is make my stomach look like I am pregnant.
HC: What is something on your bucket list?
RS: I really haven’t thought of that before. I guess the main thing that I want to do is drop into a barrel wave and be able to make it out with out falling off my board. I think that would be really cool and I would be pretty happy with myself.
HC: Why did you want to come to HWS?
RS: I came all the way up to HWS because I wanted to go somewhere a lot different than where I’m from, so upstate NY is just a little different from central Texas. It also is a prestigious school that has a great football team and I wanted to be apart of that.
HC: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
RS: I will probably be chilling on the beaches of Hawaii. Where I would surf a lot and paint all day. It really would be the life.
HC: If you where stranded on an island what would you bring?
RS: I would bring a car door, because then when I roll down the window I would get a nice breeze!!
