What made you decide to be counselor Erin Hayes’ student aid?

I feel that I am an extension of Mrs. [Erin] Hayes, therefore [being her aid] only seemed fitting. I am like a Mrs. Hayes in training. I follow her around [a lot.]

What do you usually do for her?

Sometimes I write notes from the tooth fairy [to her kids] and heckle other teachers. We also follow Mr. [Jack] Johnson aro und everywhere and I make a lot of copies.

What is the best part about spending time with Mrs. Hayes?

She acts like a 12-year-old so she’s quite entertaining. She really does.

What is the funniest thing that has happened between the two of you?

One day we were going to be dumb and write on Mr. [Jack] Johnson’s white board. When she unlocked the door, we found Mr. Johnson getting off the floor in the back corner. It scared us so badly that we sprinted all the way back to the counseling office. We have looked up Despicable Me 2 trailers and memorized them. We have looked up fun facts about alpacas. One time I even stole her office chair and hid it in Mr. Johnson’s room and made her go find it.

How has your relationship changed since you have worked with her?

[Now] we are more friends than teacher and student.

What are your plans for next year?

Attending a four year college and going to law school.

What will you take with you for the future from this experience?

How to have fun no matter how stressed out you get and to always have a smile on your face because it can make someone’s day.
