River is a senior whose favorite class is Film Studies because it is a  laid-back,  fun class.  River loves the Cotter Speech Team. For River, Speech is an outlet to express himself, make friends, and pursue goals. River enjoys being in nature and the outdoors, especially on THE RIVER, the Mississippi, that is, where he spends his summers running a tour boat with his dad. River is currently considering going to college for a degree in oral communication arts and education, and would enjoy being a speech coach in the future.
