Levi Button
Years at Liberty: I've been at Liberty for five years.
Favorite Memory: My favorite memory of high school would have to be either History class with Mr. Vaala or going on the college trip in 2018 to California.
Faculty Shout-out: As far as teachers are concerned, all of mine have been amazing. But I have especially appreciated Mrs. Struck and Mr. Vaala. They put in a lot of hard work at their jobs and it is evident that they are passionate about their subjects. Also, I have very much valued Mrs. Jang's teaching of Calculus. She has helped me to understand a difficult subject that I never thought I would be able to comprehend. I have a newfound respect for every teacher at Liberty for being able to manage the changes which have come about due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Three things I can't live without are coffee, sports, and friends.
My favorite book is The Great Gatsby.
College: Next fall, I am going to Grand Canyon University, in Phoenix, Arizona. I plan to pursue a business major while I'm there.
Dream Job: My dream job is to open up my own coffee shop and make coffee for others and for myself.
