Interview of Scotty Pugmire

            16 year old Scotty Pugmire is a sophomore at Eastview high school. He is also the oldest out of 2 brothers and 2 twin sisters.  Scotty is involved in high school athletic sports; plays lax and football and is on the ski team and he also wishes to play lax after high school in post secondary.

            A day in most teen’s life is pretty much having fun and not worrying about much but school. Well I asked 16 year old Scotty what a day in his life is like and he responds, wake up at 5 then go to church every day for an hour and then come to school. Most teens in America are wanting to sleep in and aren’t very much a morning person. Scotty on the other hand is very different and unique.
