HAYDEN
I love to play baseball, my favorite class is History class because I love learning about wars and things similar to that. At school I play the piano for the Wednesday masses in the morning, and I love to help with special events that my school/church puts together. I love to read and play chess, and in the future I would love to be a professional pianist. My biggest goals are to keep my grades very high, and learn extremely hard songs on the piano. I would love to learn how to code python or java, and vacationing to Italy would be something I would enjoy very much.
LUKE
Luke is a student at Frassati Catholic High School. He attends school with his older brother, where they both play baseball. In school, he enjoys physics and geometry, and the mathematical concepts behind real world scenarios. Luke also enjoys history, and is fascinated by the rise of Western Civilization.

He especially loves to camp in places that are not easily accessible. Another hobby of his is working on and restoring classic cars with his dad, where he can use physics and math concepts to solve real world problems. Luke wants to visit all 50 states, and go camping in each one. After high school, he hopes to attend Texas A&M for an engineering or criminal justice degree. Luke wants to become a Texas Game Warden after college.
