CL: I didn’t really connect with the team and it just seemed like a way to stay fit. Since coming to high school it has become more of a passion.

EE: What are you doing for the DECA competition on Nov. 11?

CL: I am doing Principle of Marketing. You walk and are given a piece of paper telling you what business you are in and you have to role play it. You then get ten minutes to prepare and you go into an interview with a professional.

EE: What kind of business would you like to market?

CL: I’d probably like to go for Target or some big corporation. It would be cool to have such a big influence and have so many people see your stuff.
