Name: Lizzie Edgar

Favorite subject: IB Economics. I didn't think I would enjoy economics as much as I do when I began the year, but Mr. Powers made it an interesting and enjoyable class. I looked forward to attending the class every other day.

Accomplishment I'm most proud of: Getting a 6 on my IB Math exam. I despise math and was hoping to get at most a 3 on that exam. I nearly fainted when I found out I received a 6.

Thing you are most looking forward to this summer: Riding my horses and going to as many horse shows as I possibly can before I leave for college. My busy high school schedule kept me from riding as frequently as I wanted to this year and I plan to make up for that lost time this summer.

Favorite high school memory: The great time I had with my fellow IB students preparing and serving food at the Ronald McDonald House in Detroit. That experience was so much fun and fulfilling. It was a great way to bring us together outside of school.

Celebrity you’d most like to meet: Johnny Depp. He is my favorite actor of all time. I love every movie I've seen him in.
