Zephyrus: What activities are you involved in?

Robert Granquist: I am a junior gold hockey goalie for around five months of the year in the winter months. I am a co-leader of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. I am a sports and activities section editor for Zephyrus, and I am also in the Science Club. I also play the trumpet and the mellophone that I switch, depending on the piece. 

Z: If you had to choose between pancakes, crepes, and waffles, what would you pick?

RG: It’s either between pancakes or waffles, I’d say waffles. 

Z: Why?

RG: They have this structure to them, where they can hold syrup. And it’s like the taste of pancakes in a better structure and it’s always good. Pancakes are a bit too soft. They just flop around and they feel like mush sometimes. Between crepes and pancakes, crepes. 

Z: Best childhood memory?

RG: So probably for that, it would be when we won our district, which really was more like a state tournament for us. This was in seventh grade. And we were by far the best district and we went 45-4-5. It was basically a state championship. 

Z: What do you want us to know about you?

RG: I want to say just be kind to everyone. You don’t know what people are going through. You really don’t know. You know what I mean? So I would say kindness needs to be a top priority, just everyone you talk to, be kind. 

Z: What does being on court mean to you?

RG: I mean, it’s a great honor to be elected by your classmates, I mean, that’s a really big deal. It is mainly the social aspect of it, and I am really excited to be on court because the activities are a ton of fun.
