You're a 2004 graduate of BHS, correct? Share a bit about growing up in Bluffton.

Yes, graduated from BHS in 2004. I had a lot of fun in school, and was in
all kinds of activities - choir, band, show choir, jazz band, Latin club,
math club, etc. I also really enjoyed Campus Life. I was often just really
goofy with my friends!
