What is your favorite photo and why?
I was in Latin in high school, and in Latin 3 we put on a play reenacting the death of Caesar. Each year the class chose a theme, and we picked video game characters. Cassius, my character, was supposed to be Sonic the Hedgehog. As part of my costume, people thought it would be a good idea to try to gel my hair so it would stick out like Sonic’s. We did a test run of this during class one day. It didn’t work, and it felt like I had a pound of bricks on my head the rest of the school day (luckily, it came out pretty easily later). I ended up wearing a hat that looked like Sonic’s head for the actual play.
