Humans of Sophomore Honors: Kai Riggs Turpin

A interview of Kai composed and written by Kate. About him as a person. In this interview he talked about his failures, experiences and goals.

By Kate Pardoe from Eureka Senior High School in California

A time when I experienced failure was my first attempt at keeping an ant colony. I got a queen and I raised her. I moved her into my house way too early and she died because she couldn't survive there. The hardest thing I had to do is to agree with my family to put down my cat. She was 14 and she had diabetes. My goals for this year are to get a’s and b’s in my classes.
