- Both my grandmas had cancer.

- Oh, so it's kind of personal for you, huh?

Okay, well I tell you what, that's something that definitely needs to be taken care of.

So maybe perhaps you can be the person to do it.

So Jeffrey Siebigteroth, you are a Senior, or a Junior and a team captain.

And when asked in the world of which movie or book you would like to live, you picked 2001: a Space Odyssey.

- Yeah, I haven't actually watched 2001: a Space Odyssey, except I just didn't want to put down Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings or Star Wars because I knew those would be three answers that everyone puts down, so I mean, space, it's pretty cool I guess.

- It is, and 2001 is a movie that will definitely blow your mind.

I mean, even though the movie itself is, what, 55 years old or something, one, the special effects are amazing, but two just the thoughts behind it are just make you go, okay, I wonder what they were on when they were making this.
