Freshman Camron Scott Mullins, born June 25, 1999, plans to live in  New York City when he is older because “it’s an amazing city and looks awesome at night.” For now, he is just focusing on graduating high school. Unlike most students his age, his happiest moment is when he was born because “nobody’s happier than a baby.”

Music is the biggest inspiration in Cam’s life. His favorite song is Lying from You by Linkin Park. As a child, his family would always cruise around, playing that song excessively loud. His favorite thing about himself is his music taste. He prefers metal and a little bit of old hip-hop. To relax, he listens to music, reads, watches television, and sleeps. His favorite book is Air Force One. His favorite movie is “‘Armageddon’ because it has Bruce Willis in it and the plot is cool. Some of the effects are cheesy but it’s just a good movie. My favorite actor is in it, Steve Buscemi. He is my favorite character because he always plays an interesting character.”

Cam is new to high school, and has mixed views about it. “I enjoy high school but I don’t like the work we do in high school. It’s too much work that’s not even remotely connected to what I want to do in my life. I like to hang out with my friends at lunch, but do not like the selection of food.” My favorite class is speech because it is easy going.” He doesn’t want to go to college as he plans to get a job in construction. He realized he wanted a job in construction when his father took him to his work when he was twelve.

While Cam doesn’t believe that he is an interesting person, one could argue that it is quite the opposite. He’s biggest pet peeve is pencils. He hates the sounds of pencils writing. He went on to explain, “It’s like the quieter version of nails on a chalkboard. I hate holding chalk as well, it feels weird.” His biggest fear is people that are really close to him dying, but he doesn’t fear himself dying. Although death has heavily affected his life, he maintains a positive outlook on life.
