-What is your favorite thing about MMS — and why?My favorite activity occurs at lunch, when I play Go with either a friend or Brendan, the Algebra teacher. Lunch in Brendan’s office is very strategic and a lot of fun. Brendan’s office is a de-facto meeting room for people who like playing strategy games. The games played include Stratego, Go and Chess. Brendan joins in and plays these games with us at times. In my mind, he is the master strategist. I really enjoy playing him to test my skill and wits in Go.
-Something that makes you smile:
I love reading comics. My mom will hear me laughing in my room sometimes and she knows I am reading comics.
