3. Who is your favorite teacher at O-C and why?
My calculus teacher Mr. Rexroad because he taught me a lot of math stuff.

Like Jean Valjean from Les Miserables before he broke his parole, like something new is right around the corner.

Government, I love having really deep conversations with Mr. Lierman.
