1. What are you most excited about?

“Despite the above statement, just being a part of this production has been a fun experience.”

“I would have to say the various unique actions that Sam [another scout leader] and I perform.”

7. How has this experience affected you and your high school experience?

“This experience, though it has both helped and hindered my high school experience, was something I’m glad I was a part of before I graduate and move on.”
