MMCRU Spotlights: Senior Spotlights

Question of the Week: Would you jump out of an airplane with a parachute?

By Tessa Weiler

This week for question of the week, I asked would you jump out of an airplane with a parachute? The first response I had was from Carver Miller (Sr.), and he replied, “I would, I have always wanted to.” Ben Tentinger (Jr.) replied, “Yes, I would!” Eoin Hogg (Jr.) admitted, “No, I would be too scared!” Mrs. Kelly Peters (HS Math Teacher) was excited to say, “I would love to, I would probably scream the entire time!” Finally, Cassie Weiler (Sr.) said “YES!” After all my responses, I would have to say that I would also jump out of an airplane with a parachute, as long as I land in Chicago!
