Keeping with his colorful personality, Garrett Crouse wore this planetary shirt for his Eugene High School senior photo, in honor of his future major in astro-physics. <\/p>\n
EUGENE, Mo. When Garrett Crouse and his pals ran through the halls of Eugene High School chasing a ghost as the Ghostbusters for \"1980s day,\" his peers werent surprised. <\/p>\n
When he pulled out all the stops for the Mr. Eugene contest (a male beauty pageant), he had a blast. <\/p>\n
And when the senior boys were determined to beat the senior girls for the first time in a pep assembly dance-off, Crouse was in the mix with back flips and boy-band dance moves. <\/p>\n
The flamboyant and cheerful senior at Eugene High School is a self-proclaimed social bug. <\/p>\n
I like meeting new people and expanding my social bubble, he said. <\/p>\n
To that end, hes not afraid to be outlandish to have fun. And more importantly, he seeks to make sure others are having a good time, too. <\/p>\n
Ultimately, what I want to do with my life is help people, Crouse said. The more people I know, the more I can potentially help. <\/p>\n
Thats his lifes mission, not his career goal. <\/p>\n
Crouse is headed to the University of Colorado this fall to study astro-physics. His ultimate dream is to be a researcher at the NASA branch at CalTech and perhaps become a professor there. <\/p>\n
