SAC Sound-off: You get one question
March 6, 2012
We asked the members of the Student Advisory Council to pick someone they wish they could meet, and tell us why. Here are their answers:
Ancestors
Carly Joseph, Pontiac Notre Dame junior
I would ask all of my grandparents about what it was like when they were growing up.
Elle Lehman, Portland St. Patrick senior
I would ask anyone in my family who lived hundreds of years ago what it was like where my family came from, and why they moved to America.
Visionaries
Tyler Wilson, Rudyard senior
I would ask Martin Luther King Jr. how he was so brave.
Maria Buczkowski, Detroit Country Day senior
I would ask Albert Einstein to convince my teachers to have a daydreaming class in school, since he developed the theory of relativity by daydreaming.
Entrepreneurs
Alissa Jones, Muskegon Catholic Central senior
I would like to ask Steve Jobs how he came up with the idea of the Ipod gadgets.
Bailey Truesdell, Grand Blanc senior
I would like to ask Warren Buffett how he made his billions.
Sports Legends
Kevin Beazley, Detroit Catholic Central senior
Michael Jordan: What are the little things that nobody knows about or sees that brought you to the top?
Matt Freeman, Owosso junior
Bear Bryant: What does it take to become the leader he was?
Evan Lamb, Rogers City junior
Joe Paterno: I'd ask how it felt to have touched the hearts of so many people throughout the years.
Kings (of rock-n-roll)
Lena Madison, New Buffalo senior
I would like to ask Elvis Presley if is he is dead or alive still.

The MHSAA and its Student Advisory Council will kick of this winter's Battle of the Fans IV on Friday with a visit to reigning champion Beaverton.
In advance, let's recall what earned our first three champions -- Frankenmuth in 2012, Buchanan in 2013 and Beaverton last year -- the right to call their sections the best in Michigan.
