INTERVIEWED STUDENTS AT BISHOP GORMAN HIGH SCHOOL

ALICIA HOEPFNER, Junior

“When I was looking for my backpack one time I was asking all my friends where it was. Then all of a sudden I tripped over something. I looked down and there was my backpack.”

CELESTE MELONAS, Junior

“When my history teacher, Mr. Bonar, told me to look to my right I looked left instead. Everyone laughed and still make fun of me to this day.”

MICHAEL ELKOUZ, SOPHOMORE

“One time I was sitting on a jungle gym with a girl. I leaned in to kiss her and she leaned forward, but I missed and lost my balance and fell off the jungle gym.”

KYLE ALDRICH, sophomore

“I was sparring with my black belt uncle. I tried to throw him down, but instead he threw me into the ground. I had to write with my left hand for three months.”

ALEX GROSJEAN, senior

“I took a girl to homecoming and she was so bored she fell asleep on me.”

AMANDA KEENER, senior

“I had just gotten ready to go out when I went outside to look at the pool. My dog ran by and I tried to get around it, but I fell into the pool instead.”
