Attention
class of 2015, you have a new President: Amanda Sampson. Though preparing to
take on her new role as Senior Class President, there is a lot more to Sampson
than winning elections and public speaking.
“Whenever
I have the time I like to knit, draw, and watch multiple seasons of Netflix
shows.” states Sampson who otherwise has quite the busy schedule. Student
Government, which she has participated in, since Freshman year keeps her
involved with the school year round. Additionally, Sampson also is on the Cross
Country team and the Tennis team, “I would say that I love running, but that
would be a lie-- I really enjoy being on a team.” Sampson does not rest even on
the weekends, on Sundays she teaches CCD to 3rd graders.
Last
year, Sampson served as Vice President for the class of 2015. She has also been
a School Committee Representative for two years. This year she decided to run
for President. “I wanted to run for Class President because I felt like after
being on student government for three years, I had the ability and experience
needed to guide us in the right direction.” Sampson said when asked about her
decision to run. With Senior Prom, the Halloween Dance, and Senior week to
plan, the next year won’t carry any sort of a lighter load for the new Senior
Class President.
Being
a Senior in the up and coming school year brings more with it than just
extra-curriculars. College is also on the mind of many members of the Class of
2015. Sampson says she plans to either stay in the New England area or head to
Washington D.C. for college.
For
next years Freshman, Sampson has some words of wisdom to pass down. “(don’t) be
scared of the upperclassmen! We were all in the same boat at one point. And
also, get involved, MHS has something for everyone and it’s a good way to make
new friendships with people from all different grades and friend groups.”
