Lyric is a senior at Windward who transferred from Ferndale High School in order to enjoy the small-school atmosphere and being with her friends. As her name may suggest, Lyric is a poet. She also enjoys coloring. Last year, she decided to combine her two passions by filling her Lisa Frank coloring book with corresponding haikus. If Lyric ever drank radioactive ocean water and developed a superpower, it would be fire manipulation because she thinks fire is really neat. Lyric would love to one day summon the courage to cliff jump. If she could choose anywhere in the world to live, it would be New York City, because although she enjoys the cozy familiarity a small community provides, she has been drawn to the city lights since she was a child.

Tegan’s job for the paper is the overseer.There are some questions I asked her just to get to know her more as well as offering some insights on one of the student teachers here at Windward. As a student of hers, I would like to share some of the questions I asked her. The first thing I learned about her, is that her favorite animal is an orca even though she finds them terrifying.  Even though she’s afraid of them, she dreams of one day kayaking with a pod of orcas. Following that, I learned that her dream is to someday buy a castle, where she would be headmistress. It would be a muggle version of Hogwarts. She’d own a herd of miniature ponies as well as a mechanical loch ness monster that greeted people as they approached the castle. She would make sure that no children were left disappointed and everyone received their Hogwarts letters.
