Name/ grade/ school: John Alberto/ junior/ Stafford High School

Do you wear a backpack? Yes, because it's easier than going to my locker between each period all the time. I want to wear it all the time.

Summer before college? I'd like to go to the Alps. I love hiking and climbing. I'd definitely bring a backpack, but probably not the one I wear at school.

Time frame to wear flip-flops? It gets too cold to wear them after Thanksgiving. After Groundhog Day it's usually warm enough to start back up again.

Could you live in an all-white house? Definitely, even with white couches, tables and all. I'd be super careful not to spill anything.

Do you wear the same clothes at home as you do during the day? Well, I have cross country practice after school. After that I take a shower and change into something comfortable.

Farthest you've been away from home? Florence, Italy. I liked the rest of Italy, but was not crazy about Florence.

What is something you're trying to make up for? I feel like a jerk when I don't recycle. I threw away seven water bottles in the trash at a football game. I've got five more bottles to go to make up for that.

Something on your to-do list? Donating blood. By doing that, I can check that off as well as helping a stranger.

Last thing you bought online? Previously viewed movies--only, the shipping cost more than the actual movies.

Nina Gonzalez is a junior at Stafford High School.
