Vlad Erickson took journalism as one of his electives because he loves Mrs.Cann as a teacher. He said she is a fun teacher, and she is very understanding, so it was a good class to take for his senior year. Vlad is involved with Marmion in many different ways. He is the team captain for Marmion’s Varsity Volleyball Team. He is also in the Ping Club, Weight Lifting Club and Spanish Club. This involvement shows his true dedication to not just the academic portion of Marmion, but he also takes advantage of all of the great opportunities offered here. His favorite memory at Marmion was when he got kicked out of the homecoming dance, ironically by Mrs. Cann. He said it didn’t bother him that he got kicked out because he enjoyed the time having fun while he did. Vlad’s advice for underclassmen is to turn in your work on time. He said that he struggled with that freshman year, but later he learned that it is worth it in the end to turn in your work. Another thing he mentioned was to not put yourself above others. Everyone is here at this school to learn and have fun and you shouldn’t be putting yourself always above others. After Marmion, Vlad would like to study business. While he’s at college, he also wants to play D1 or D2 volleyball.
