Chance Koenke

By Shasta Backus

Being in a room with Chance Koenke is like being in a room all alone, with not even the sound of someone breathing. Talking to him is like talking to a wall

-- you talk and talk, but you never get an answer. When you do, you never hear anything because his voice is so low, which in Chance’s case could be good because almost every time he talks, something inappropriate “slips out.”

In his spare time, Chance sits at home watching TV or his favorite movie 8 Mile starring his favorite rapper, Eminem. Chance also enjoys playing football.

“I don’t really know why I like playing football,” said Chance. “I just like it and think it’s cool.”

Chance’s weaknesses include “sleeping too much.” Aside from sleeping, Chance finds time for school, even though his ideal life would involve “NO school, NO teachers, and NO principal.”

“Reading and writing are boring and time consuming,” said Chance.

“But making it through high school would be my greatest accomplishment in life so far.”
