Matthew describes his freshman year as how many of us would through the peak of Covid: “pretty rough.” Matthew's favorite class is gym and “would recommend it to everyone.” Matthew enjoys his time at Middle Creek one day at a time and will most definitely continue to enjoy it in the future. Matthew’s favorite part of the school is the annexes. “It's like being outside but inside.” He also enjoys “talking to people and making friends.”

Matthew has been swimming for most of his life and plans on joining the Middle Creek swim team. To anyone considering joining the swim team, Matthew says, “The swim team is fun and can help your health.” Even if you are new and looking to try it out, it will be fun and a good experience. One thing Matthew says to all new swimmers is “swimming is all about being as fast as you can, not necessarily beating others.” Matthew swims at RSA and recommends it highly to anyone. “It is very good; one of the best in the area, if not the best.”
Matthew says the one thing he can be described as by all his peers is “charismatic, funny and an all-around nice guy.” The one thing everyone likes in a classmate, friend, and student is their character., and Matthew is a high-character guy.
