Student Spotlight on Norah McCabe

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I have a pet bird named Percy. He was named after both Percy Jackson and a Harry Potter character because I was a freaky little nine-year-old.

What activities or hobbies do you enjoy out of school?

My favorite hobby is playing Dungeons and Dragons because I’m a little nerd. I’m the vice president of the club. The game is something I’ve been fixated on for about three years. It’s a great game to play to know the people around you.

What’s something people don’t worry about but really should?

I think people could concern themselves more with how fast they’re walking. It’s really annoying to everyone else when they stop or walk really slow in the halls. I will judge you if you walk slowly.

What is unique about your personality?

Everything. I’m special and quirky and lovely. But seriously, I think I’m an interesting cookie. I’ve always been a little weird because it’s more fun then being normal.

What movie/show could you never get tired of watching?

My favorite movie ever is “The House.” I watch it every time I get sick. It’s not very comforting, but it’s pretty creepy.

What would you do if you only had 24 hours left to live?

First I would be really dramatic about it and tell everyone I know and be like, “You have to be nice to me because I’m gonna die and it’s evil if you don’t.” Then I would keep my bird close on my shoulder and together we’d be evil.

How do you judge a person?

How you act around your friends, the way you treat authority figures, and if you can stand up for yourself. I think that you don’t have to like authority figures, but if you don’t treat them with respect you’re emotionally immature. This is especially if you act up around your friends because it shows you have no backbone.

Who are your favorite teachers and why?

I haven’t officially had Mr. Lanfrank as my teacher, but he is by far my favorite. I knew him when I was young and I remember him being so silly. I’ve grown to think he’s really funny and a really great advisor to the Dungeons and Dragons club.

Which countries/places would you like to visit?

I’ve been to New York, but I’d love to explore it again. I have a list of stores, libraries, and museums I’d like to visit.

What is your greatest strength?

By far my bluntness. I’ve been told I can be a little mean, but it’s good for me to cut through the nonsense of other people. Normally people can tell when I’m being serious.
