By Matt Roe

What was your most embarrassing moment in high school?

“I ripped the seam in my jeans and had to spring down the hallway to the bathroom so no one would see.”

“My most embarrassing moment would probably be when I was playing softball. I was up to bat, and I hit the ball but my bat broke, and I was in so much shock I didn’t run to first.”

“My irritable bowel syndrome acted up when I took finals for all my classes.”
