Student Spotlight
GRACE HANNAH '17
Loves about Brebeuf:
At Brebeuf, the teachers are amazing. I am in Spanish III with Sra. Brown, and more often than not I am in her office receiving help on almost everything. Though Spanish is not my strong suit, she never fails to help me comprehend something and truly cares about my education.
Favorite Class:
I cannot choose just ONE favorite class, I have three. My favorite classes are AP Psych with Mrs. Bobis, English 11 with Ms. Moore, and Moral Decision Making with Ms. Hennessy. I love AP Psych because Mrs. Bobis is such a great teacher and the topics we discuss are so intriguing. In English 11, Ms. Moore brings humor and British Literature together to create a perfect learning experience. In Moral Decision Making we discuss topics such as abortion and capital punishment. I believe that it is important to discuss such controversial subjects in order for us students to receive a well-rounded education, which is what Brebeuf is striving to achieve.
Future Plans:
I’d love to go to Hope College in Holland, MI and study either social work or sociology and play volleyball. My goal is to hopefully become a social worker or sociologist.
Teams & Co-Curriculars:
Varsity Volleyball
Coach 5th/6th grade volleyball at St. Michaels
GSA Club
Students Working Against Human Trafficking Club (SWAT)
STRAP Club
Young Democrats Club
Random Fact:
I was kicked out of piano in 4th grade for not practicing… my teacher was a nun.
Is Brebeuf as academically rigorous as they say?
I can say wholeheartedly that Brebeuf is very academically rigorous. However, most of the teachers are amazing and truly want their students to succeed in and out of the classroom. All of my siblings have gone through Brebeuf and said that they were far more prepared for college than others. Though the workload and expectations are high (along with my stress level before these finals), time management and using the PRTs wisely will get you through.
Would you rather…
Go to the movie theater or stay home with Netflix?
Netflix is my life but I would have to say going to the movies is better. The popcorn is always perfect, some seats are recliners, the surround sound is great, and there is nothing more enjoyable than watching a movie where the screen takes up almost your entire field of vision.
Vacation in Hawaii or Alaska?
I would rather vacation in Hawaii because I could try to recreate scenes from Cast Away with Tom Hanks.
Watch TV or read a book?
It depends on what I’m in the mood for but normally (I’m sorry English department) I’d rather watch tv.
Travel by sailboat or cruise ship?
I would rather travel by cruise ship because I would want to play shuffleboard and I’m afraid that the sailboat would tip over.
Go forward in time or back in time?
I would rather go forward in time because, since I know everything that will happen, I can pretend to have visions like in That’s So Raven.
Favorite Christmas Movie?
My favorite christmas movie is White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney.
