HUNTINGTON, WV -Outgoing and creative Huntington High School junior, Sam Ransbottom, has loyalty to his friends.
In a recent interview, Sam, 16, said that if he had to spend his time recuperating in a hospital, he would want his closest friends next to him. He called them his "wolf pack" and described his relationship with them as one of looking out for one another. Ransbottom said, "good or bad, we're always there for each other." With such a close group of friends, Ransbottom said that he is not a lonely person.
In the midst of his active social life, Ransbottom still finds time for work. "My first job was yard work. My brother occasionally asks me go to his home and mow the lawn. He pays me for my work," Ransbottom said.
Through a need to release his emotions, Ransbottom said that he cried last month. Although, many would think that a break-up caused his outbursts, he added that he has never loved anyone and the source of his emotional release was the thought of not seeing his friends and faculty all summer. He might cry on occasion, but Ransbottom is perfectly happy with himself.
"The one thing that has given me the most pleasure this year has been finding myself through high school. I figured out that if you're happy with yourself, then you can be happy with everything else in life," Ransbottom said.
There, Ransbottom can be found working with the school newspaper, The Highlander Press. Outside of school, he enjoys writing songs, stories, poems, and articles. He has also played the piano for nearly one and one-half years. This week he is attending a journalism workshop at Marshall University in Huntington.
