Sam Siegel – senior

With humor and talent to match, Sam has proven himself to be a fierce competitor in the Mr. Harriton competition. Will he be the one bringing home the coveted crown on February 26th? Come and see for yourself!

Harriton Banner: What is a day in your life like?

Sam Siegel: I wake up from a dream within a dream only to realize I am still in a dream. I wake up to reality and the alarm clock shows I only have ten minutes to get to school. I get to school fifteen minutes later. Half of my breakfast is on my car seat and the other half is stained on my lap. School is a blur of power naps and haunting memories of last year’s Pennsylvania gym fitness tests. I then go to Mr. Harriton practice and dance with passion, but always finish second to Will Snyder. I go home, open my homework, close my homework, take a “thirty minute nap,” and wake up in panicked sweat only to realize there are ten minutes to get to school.

HB: Why did you try out for Mr. Harriton?

SS: I have heard nothing but great things about the Mr. Harriton competition and thought it would be a great way for me to both step out of my comfort zone and make new friends.

HB: Do you have a talent that cannot be performed?

SS: I can run a nine minute mile at the Welsh Valley track when the conditions are just right.

HB: What is your favorite thing about Mr. Harriton so far?

SS: My favorite thing about Mr. Harriton has been meeting new people and making new friends.

HB: Who is a competitor to watch out for (other than you)?

SS: Rumor has it that contestant Will “Bill” Snyder has a tattoo of the Philadelphia SEPTA public transportation map on his hip…his extensive knowledge of public transportation is threatening.

HB: If you could choose the theme what would it be?

SS: Silkworms v. the Silk Road.

HB: Why are you the next Mr. Harriton?

SS: Besides four years of Harriton football, I never lose.

HB: What is your favorite school activity/sport/club/etc. (besides Mr. Harriton)?

SS: My favorite school activity is jazz band because I get to be blessed by the sounds and sights of Jacob Diamond-Reivich.

HB: Personal statement?

SS: Show up and show out. It is going to be an experience you do not want to miss!
