My favorite memories from High School occurred my Freshman and Sophomore years. My favorite memory of Freshman year was the day of Okmulgee Band competition. We placed 1st in all events and made it to finals that night where we placed 6th. I will never forget the look of pure joy on my band director’s face, Mrs. Goodnight, and the excitement we felt beating out 5 and 6 A schools. My favorite memory of Sophomore year was participating in Drama Club. I will never forget playing as Russel Sprout in the underperformed play, Murder at the Malt Shop, stuttering as I spoke and screaming nasally as I sang to my love. My favorite subjects have been Mr. McMahan Sophomore English Class, Mrs. Callahan’s Freshman Biology, Dr. Goff’s Junior English, Mr. Dean’s Freshman Algebra, Ms. Coleman’s Biomedical Science Class.
