My name is Xavier Skillens, I’m 17 years old and a senior here at GNA. I’ve been a student here at GNA all my life, having been in the district since preschool at KM Smith when that was still a school. I find the fact that the place was turned into apartments strange, I don’t even want to know what it’s like living in an old, defunct school. Tangent aside, I’ve been going here for a while, and as a senior, I’m happy to be getting out, not that the high school is a bad place to be, but I feel a change of scenery would help me a lot.  As for what I do within the school, I’m part of the newspaper. I’m a member of the cross-country and track teams as well. Apart from those two things, I’m the Class Historian for the Student Council. I randomly help with things here and there, and have a bad track record when it comes to remembering where my lanyard is. Outside of school, I work at Stookey’s BBQ, I’m a member of St Faustina’s Youth Ministry, I build model kits, hike, and play video games. I enjoy doing these things, even if I’ve almost bitten it hiking more times than I’d like to admit. My aspirations after high school are anything but simple, as I’m fixing on attending the US Naval Academy. It’s been a dream of mine since I was a little boy, and after going there for a week in June, where every morning started off with an exercise, the day was filled to the brim with things to do, I attended classes that genuinely interested me and was surrounded by some of America’s finest people. I felt like I fit in there like a glove. If there is anything I’d recommend to anyone, it’s taking a tour of Annapolis. That place is absolutely beautiful, the architecture and history there are something to behold, and as a history nerd myself.
