On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate Galway School?

Of course my heart has it as a ten, and my knowledge of our school knows that we can get there.

Favorite sport and why?

Definitely Volleyball. I love all sports but definitely volleyball. I love the rule changes in volleyball to make it more spectator friendly. It’s also a favorite because it’s indoor and I don’t have to deal with the rain or the cold. I’ve played, coached, and have been a volleyball official. It’s a big part of my life. Both my nieces played at college level, so I followed them.

Favorite game to play?

I love to play games, but my favorite at the moment is Harry Potter Clue.

Favorite book to read?

I don’t have a favorite but I am currently reading Moral Courage by Rushworth M. Kidder. It talks about doing the right thing though people might make fun of you. Your job might be in jeopardy, and yet you have the moral courage to do what is right.

Favorite movie to watch?

Any Star Wars movie. I could watch them over and over. Then there is “The Dead Poets Society.”  Seize the Day!
