After searching the school, begging for seniors to be interviewed, I retreated back into Mrs.Witcher’s room, defeated. Or so I thought, until Bethanie Flahive-Leon sauntered into the room, requesting a laptop. Bethanie has not been going to Lin-Wood all her life, but one wouldn’t have thought so, observing the way she has become well adjusted to the Lin-Woodian life. She happily agreed to an interview.
What are your plans after high school?To hopefully go to a college.... for animal science and hopefully get a good paying job that involves animals.
Do you plan on staying in New England? (Why?)Yes. It’s safe, and I like the scenery. And probably for my job choice it’d be best to stay in New England.

I don’t know. I don’t think [I’ve had any inspiring teachers].
What are some regrets you have (academically or socially)
Socially, not playing every sport. Academically, my math grades.
How could you have been more involved in the community?I don’t wish I could be more involved ... but if I had to, I would do something for the class, which I don’t do.
