10 Senior Faces

“I’ve been in Coppell’s theatre department for about a year and a half, but I’ve been in theatre class since seventh grade. I stayed in theatre for such a long time because I wanted to come out of my shell, I am very introvertive and I wanted to make more friends and be a little bit more out there for people to know that I actually can talk. What I like the most about the theatre class is prob...

“My favorite memory from high school has been traveling to Columbia with my boyfriend during junior year. I’m from Columbia, I was born there and my family’s from there. Last summer, I took my boyfriend to come to Columbia with my family and I. I teach art to kids outside of school, which is a fun way to express myself and be creative.

“My dad put me in flag football. It was just the thought of hitting somebody or putting those pads on that got me really excited to be like the Dallas Cowboys. Whenever I strapped up, I just fell in love. I did make it onto varsity my junior year, but I quit after junior year. I played football to play football. I didn’t play to be on the sidelines, be a benchwarmer. My freshman year was when I sta...
