Reilly Henderson (RH)

What’s your favorite lunch that is served in the cafeteria?

AM
RH

My favorite lunch [is the] sandwiches.

What type of sandwich do you get?

AM
RH

I like a turkey sandwich with provolone, lettuce, and mayo.

If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be and why?

AM
RH

I would have a pet monkey because I grew up with a monkey stuffed animal, so I’ve always wanted a real pet monkey.

What’s a memory you wish you could hold onto forever?

AM
RH

A memory I hope I can hold onto forever was [the time] I went backpacking on an island called Isle Royale in the middle of Michigan with one of my best friends. We got super close over the trip and made a lot of great memories.

What’s the thing you’re most proud of?

AM
RH

Something I’m proud of is being a camp counselor and being a role model for my campers.

What’s your favorite Latin tradition?

AM
RH

My favorite Latin tradition is looking at everyone’s baby pictures and guessing who is who.

What’s one thing about you that most people would find unexpected?

AM
RH

I don’t think people know that I’m very outdoorsy. I go to camp, I teach sailing, I really like to be outside, and if I could, I would live off the grid.

What’s your dream job?

AM
RH

To be a teacher, but also to live off the grid and kind of go MIA.

If you could do anything you wanted for one day, what would it be?

AM
RH

I would probably take a sailboat out on the lake with a bunch of my friends, and we would all just go swimming, hang out, tan, and relax.
