They have been here in Papua New Guinea for: 2 years (they lived in Quito, Ecuador before PNG)

Most challenging thing about being an MK:
Going on furlough – because it is hard.  

The best:
It is normal life, just in a different location. 

Favorite thing about the MK highschool:
Flexibility – that it can be loud, and that is really fun; and it is a social learning experience, but individual too. 

Learning style:
discussion

Favorite subject:
Study Hall, because you can talk

Least favorite subject:
Literature,
Because it is subjective to the teacher’s point of view, it is not actual facts, and it is frustrating because they are basically forcing you to learn the teacher’s point of view and I think differently than most people. 

Favorite things:
Talking
Friends
Color
Bare feet
Life!

Favorite hobby:
Socialness. 

Voted most likely to: 
Look good in leggings
Marry a foreign dancer
Live in a tree when he's 50
Talk himself out of a speeding ticket
Answer questions in interpretive dance

Best quote from the year:
(giving his current event on a man who died of carbon monoxide poisoning): "People die every day…but it’s NOT every day that people die from a gas I know how to draw the Lewis diagram of!!"
"I like my attached earlobes…I think they are more sanitary."


My favorite thing about Zach:
His cheerful love of people.
