It’s on the House
Maddie House
Something that I think about a lot is what I can do to make a difference. When I have free time, I try to make others feel wanted, that’s my goal in life and when I spread my love, I feel that good karma will come back. If more people had that mindset, I think the world would be a better place.
For a Klondike bar? I think I would attempt to do a backflip and see what goes from there. I can’t really do that, but I’d do a 360-degree spin then dunk.
My superpower is being a woman because I am very proud of my gender and we need to embrace it and empower others. I think it’s really important to empower and lift up others surrounding you rather than comparing yourself to others. We as women are all in this together and should treat each other like sisters. Love one another.
I think the lessons I have learned within sports actually has a lot to do with my confidence. Competing teaches you how to be strong and persevere no matter if it is with your team or in your daily life.
My weapon would be medicine to heal the wounded. I wouldn’t hurt anyone.
My mom gave this pair of overalls that warms my heart to know how similar we are and it is nice to have a pair of hers here with me. They are a nice pair of vintage denim that I wear all the time.
Definitely the 50s, to try to make my voice heard when the Civil Rights movement was starting, and I could see myself getting involved with that process.
“Everything happens for a reason.” That is so true. If you look at life like that, then your mindset will be a lot more aware of your surroundings.
The worst is when people say, “It’s always been like this.” Now that is very detrimental to society because we need to understand that the only constant is change and you need to let life happen and not stress about planning it out. It is not very accurate to say that things are always like this because everything is constantly evolving.
First of all, the image of that just has me laughing so much. I think I would rather have a bunch of tiny horses, because then they would be like ponies but be even smaller. That makes me really happy to think about.
I like that I am not really afraid to say what I feel and I think it is important to tell others what you think of them in a respectful way. If you don’t live authentically, then what are you doing? I am a very grateful person. I love life because I have the chance to ball out with some good people and have a good time. Once you create peace with your past and love yourself, life becomes a truly beautiful thing.
I am so grateful for the love that surrounds me. I think that everything truly happens for a reason and I’m comfortable and happy to be in the place that I am in now. I am thankful that the universe made sure that I was supposed to go here and only here. This school has been so welcoming and accepting, and it’s very refreshing to have more link-minded people here like me. I am very thankful for how my life has unfolded and I’m beyond appreciative of who I’ve met here and the lessons that I have learned thus far. I’m grateful for the people here because they make me feel very comfortable and that life has brought me to this exact place. You cannot have sunshine without a little rain.

I would probably pay for my college tuition first. I would buy my parents a car, a hybrid. The car has to be environmentally friendly, which is totally my vibe.
I have never seen “Star Wars,” but Yoda is pretty cute. Sorry to everyone who loves those movies!
That’s interesting. Some people think that I’m out of it a lot of the time, but really I am thinking of what I can do to help society. A lot of people underestimate my drive. In life overall, I care to actually do something that will benefit society and feel as if not everyone understands that I want to make a difference.
Music-wise, I like either oldies or rap. I also like reading political biographies and painting. It is important to take time out of your day to time to self-reflect and do some yoga to center yourself and stay grounded. If you do not love yourself, then you cannot love others.
I would not do anything that would negatively affect someone’s physical or emotional state. I’m not going to hurt someone for money, and nothing could put a price on feelings.
Amy Pohler. I really like Parks and Rec. It is so funny. I like that show and The Office, but I couldn’t see Pam (Jenna Fisher) play me.
My last meal would be dark chocolate. I don’t like sour candy, so I am a dark chocolate kind of gal. That, with a cup of green tea, would make me very happy.
Actually, I don’t want to be buried underground. I want to donate all my organs and be made into a tree. If I were to get a tombstone, it would say “let it be” and “live life with a purpose.”
My family, honestly, because I’m forever thankful for their love, support, and constantly being there for me while I’m in college right now. They have given me so many opportunities and because of that, I try to make them proud and they inspire me to be my best every day. They raised me to be a strong and independent woman. what inspires me is the love my family members, friends, coaches, and teachers provide me and use it to motivate me to make others feel loved. I am appreciative of my teachers throughout the years that were not only role models, but helped me significantly grow as a person.
I would not be here if it weren’t for my parents supporting me and providing me with countless opportunities. I am beyond grateful for them along with my beautiful little sister, Alli, who is destined to do great. My best friends always have my back and I am so thankful for their support. I am appreciative of all my past coaches believing in me and teachers giving me the wisdom to take on challenges. I am thankful for my past and current coaches for believing and accepting me. If my dad didn’t coach me, I would not be where I am today. My basketball coaches gave me the confidence to play. Coach Eckman and Coach LaFrenz here at Johnson have been very reassuring with my decision to come here and it honestly has been the best thing to ever happen to me, and I am lucky to have the ability to play.
The book I would bring is a survival guide. “Napoleon Dynamite” for my movie and “Banana Pancakes” by Jack Johnson because it reminds me of my childhood because my parents would play it all the time.
Teal.
I dyed my hair tips because I wanted to. I think it is important to act on things you want to do because you should live life how you want to live it.
The best thing that someone ever said about me is that I am an old soul because it was nice to have someone see me as an equal in that respect. It resonated with me, because it made me feel like that people see me for my true self.
I want people to think of me as someone who did the best that she could and spread peace wherever I went.
