VYPE: Who is your favorite teacher from any grade?
Rhett: My junior year teacher, Mr. Thompson, and because he was a really understanding teacher that helped in any way he could. He would personally learn how his students learned or if situations came up he helped or would be understanding. And he also taught life skills very well and would help you with anything you need or had questions on. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. Especially for how truthful and honest he was on questions, he was also a really funny guy.

VYPE: Who inspires you?
Rhett: My dad, because he is such a hard worker and is always doing something that needs done or could be helpful. He is the hardest working person I know and would love to be half the man he is. He knows how to do and fix so many things, and if he doesn’t he will figure it.
