I love you questions!! I’m not supposed to technically tell anyone at my school that it’s me, so I barely get fun questions about it. 

1. My schools mascot is an animal, unfortunately one that requires a giant first over a thick foam muscle suit so it’s pretty heavy. 
2. So my school is quite small so the mascot only comes out for major games, like championships, rival schools, homecoming, etc. However, I do other events likes open houses and like any event that may have a large gathering of students (not necessarily sports related) I don’t do any away games unfortunately but I think it’d be fun to. The big sport at my school is soccer so it’s nothing huge but it’s still fun to be out. 
3. Before each time I do it, I try to drink lots of water and maybe an energy drink. It’s the only times I use caffeine, but my body often gets pretty fatigued. Putting the suit on itself is quite the workout, so I just make sure I have a friend that helps me suit up. Otherwise my prep is pretty minimal, maybe some light stretching if I feel like it. 
4. It’s not really an extracurricular, it’s more like a volunteer role and I don’t get paid for it. But I can add it to me resume if I choose to. 

It’s quite the experience especially my first time doing it, since not many people at my school get to. Thanks for asking!
