“Senior Spotlight” will be an ongoing series throughout the school year, highlighting graduating seniors here at Hawthorne High School.  Next up is senior Dakota Brantner

Clarion: What is your favorite animal?

Dakota: My favorite animal is a tie between a lion or an elephant. Elephants just represent something very peaceful and gentle; but a lion is both wild and ferociousness. Both are beautiful animals and both represent my two moods.

Clarion: What are your plans for the future?

Dakota: Working for Disney as an Imagineer…typical

Clarion: What was/is your favorite class?

Dakota: Journalism and Media Arts. Two great classes and two great teachers

Clarion: What is your favorite song?

Dakota: My favorite songs are two pretty sad ones- Happier by Ed Sheeran and Black Bird by the Beatles. Both are iconic.

Clarion: Do you have a car and if so what is its name?

Dakota: I do not have a car, but if I did I’d name it Harvey (reasons unknown I just feel like Harvey is a really tough name).

Clarion: What fashion trend you would like to bring back?

Dakota: I want tye-dye to come back in full force.

Clarion: What is your favorite movie?

Dakota: This is a horrible question for me since I love movies…but if I had to narrow it down to three it would be The Dark Knight, Tangled, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Clarion: What is your favorite color:

Dakota: Probably navy blue or maroon. I cannot stand bright colors they hurt my eyes too much.

Clarion: What is your favorite ice cream flavor:

Dakota: The best and only great ice cream flavor is chocolate chip cookie dough. No questions asked.

Clarion: What is your favorite vacation destination?

Dakota: Usually people do not ask me this question because they already know the answer…it’s Disney. Does not matter which one as long as it’s Disney.

Clarion: What is your favorite thing about winter?

Dakota: I love being cold so winter is my favorite season. Snow days, Christmas and watching the Santa Clause movies on repeat are the best things to do
