Southerner: What is your favorite subject?
Spindler: “Okay, people are going to hate this, but I love math. For me, honestly it is really easy, and the thought process is easier for me.”
Southerner: How many years have you been in theatre, and what all have you done?
Spindler: “I joined the theatre department my second semester of freshman year, and I have been a spotlight the whole time. I have only just gotten on the stage this year. But, I have done a lot of other set work and stuff as well.”
Southerner: What is a quick snack that you like to get?
Spindler: “I love me some mozzarella sticks from Sonic. I love some Sonic mozz sticks and a slushie.”
Southerner: What is your go-to outfit when you´re running late?
Spindler: “Exactly what I am wearing, a black long sleeve shirt, a pair of jeans and something over the shirt.”
Southerner: What is your favorite class that you’ve taken in high school?
Spindler: “Oh my gosh. I have had a lot of fun classes. I really like my physics class. I love Mrs. Knaebel; she is the bomb. But, like I said, I really like math and it is a small class. I like the grouping of that more. Tech theatre and art was fun too.”
Southerner: What is your favorite school lunch?
Spindler: “I have not eaten school lunch in a little over a year; however, cheesy bread all the way. I tear up cheesy bread. It is the best”
Southerner: Do you have any idea where you want to go to college after you graduate?
Spindler: “I have applied [to] several places. My top three choices are UC Berkeley, Purdue and Georgia Tech.”
Southerner: How long do you think it takes you to get ready in the morning?
Spindler: “I am very ADHD, so about, if I am doing the most basic, 15-20 minutes. If I am actually trying to look nice, at least a half hour.”
Southerner: What is some advice you would give to a freshman?
Spindler: “It sounds super cliquish, but just go for it. I was not shy by any means, but I was always super nervous doing new things. I do not regret it, but I wish I would have done more.”
Southerner: Who is someone you look up to?
Spindler: “That is tough. I have never really had any upperclassmen friends. Honestly, probably Mrs. Knaebel and Mrs. Nurrenbern. They are both very different, but I admire each of their qualities.”
