Q: How excited are you about your senior year of school?
GARDNER: “I’m pretty excited about it. I was a little nervous, but so far everything has been going pretty smooth. I thought it might be a little more rough because of the classes I’m taking, but so far it’s been a breeze.”
Q: Which school activity do you enjoy the most?
GARDNER: “I really enjoy speech because I’m a big fan of public speaking. I think everyone should learn public speaking. Being able to speak to large groups of people is important.”
