How long have you lived there?
I have lived in Hydro my whole life.
How many kids are in your grade?
There are about 30 kids in my grade.
Most interesting thing about your town?
The most interesting thing about Hydro would be how it’s such a small town but the community stays so strong. Hydro is full of friendly faces and so many things created for the benefit of the people.
Do you serve on any clubs/organizations? If so, what?
I am a member of Student Council, National Honor Society, the Renaissance Honors Club, FFA, the Livestock Showing Team, and I serve as the junior class Secretary and my FFA chapters Reporter.
Do you play sports? If so what?
I do not play any sports
What is the population of your hometown?
The population of Hydro is about 1,000.
What is one thing you wish you had there?
I honestly feel like Hydro is a pretty complete town. There are multiple places to eat, a beauty salon, grocery store, hardware store, and so much more. There are even new things being built right now. The town of Hydro is pretty small but it’s lucky to have people in it who want the best and do whatever it takes to get there. Having a Sonic would be nice but the ten-minute drive over to Weatherford isn’t that bad.
What is your favorite thing about your hometown?
My favorite thing about my hometown is the people in it. Going to a small school makes it easy to be friends with everyone. I have friendships with kids I never thought I would just because I saw them in the hallway and decided to say hey one day. When you go somewhere in town you never leave without stopping and having a conversation with a familiar face.
