1. I start in mid-November. I've started thinking about it, and have an idea of what I'm going to get.

2. I go home and do all kinds of chores, and cook dinner for the family. Then we sit down together.

3. He was my freshman history teacher at Century, Ullin, Illinois, but I can't remember his name. He made history come to life and made it really fun.

4. I always get ahold of my sister. She's in the Navy, and we do videochats. I call my grandfather and usually spend the day with him. He was in the Air Force.

1. I usually like to start my Christmas shopping the month before. It gives me time to save money and see what I need to get for people.

2. I like to program. Currently I'm developing an app for Android phones.

3. Tracy Minner. He was my social studies teacher back in the eighth grade in University City. He had no boundaries, and it was fun in his class.

4. Veterans Day is a great day. It allows us to give thanks to those who have been in the service that some may forget. My father is a veteran, so I will be calling him.

1. I start soon after Christmas for the next year. I spend a lot of time looking, but I still have more to go.

2. I like to watch television or read a good book to calm down and decompress about the day.

3. My sixth grade teacher at Leopold, Mrs. Cooper. I really enjoyed her class and all the projects we got to do, especially the memory books we made with stories from our family.

4. I love to observe it. Both my grandfathers were veterans. They both served in World War II, and I want to honor them.

1. I Christmas shop throughout the year, so if I see something, I buy it and keep it in the closet until then.

2. I like to go home and crash, and separate myself from people and recharge.

3. It's probably my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Coxsen, back in Newburg, west of Rolla. I don't know why, but she is.

4. I think it's a great holiday. it's important to celebrate veterans and what they they have done and sacrificed for everyone. We have had displays at the library.
