6. Describe what it’s like to be on a high school football team.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nI currently play offensive and defensive line for the Chaminade High Eagles. It\u2019s so much fun playing with my teammates and making lifelong memories and friendships. Getting to travel to different places to play a game that I love is one of the best experiences. A typical week during football season includes going to school Monday through Wednesday, followed by a four hour practice each day. On Thursdays, we have school and then a walkthrough for the game. Friday is the best day\u2026Game Day! Saturdays are film days, where we review the previous night\u2019s game and focus on what we can improve. During the offseason, we typically practice four hours a day, three to five days a week.<\/p>\n

\u00a07. Did you play sports at LES?<\/strong><\/p>\nYes, I played on the basketball and soccer teams. They both were a lot of fun. I think it would have been cool to have a football team at LES, but it\u2019s definitely not necessary to have a great experience.<\/p>\n
8. Would it surprise you to learn that in kindergarten you wanted to be a police officer? Is that still a possibility?<\/strong><\/p>\nIt does surprise me that I once wanted to be a police officer. Now, I\u2019m more interested in pursuing something in business, and being a police officer is no longer something I see myself being.<\/p>\n

9. What advice would you give to your kindergarten self?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe advice I would give my kindergarten self is to take your time, have fun, and make memories, because you don\u2019t realize how much you\u2019ll miss LES until you leave.<\/p>\n
10. Any specific memories of how an LES teacher impacted your life?<\/strong><\/p>\nAll of my teachers had a huge impact on my experience at LES. One teacher who really stands out is Mr. Myers (5th grade)<\/em> because of how energetic and fun he is, which made learning exciting.<\/p>\n11. Due to Covid, you were on Zoom for half of 5th grade and the beginning of 6th. What do you recall about that time?<\/strong><\/p>\nBeing at home on Zoom was definitely an interesting experience, one I\u2019d say I\u2019m glad is over. At first, it was kind of nice to be at home and work at our own pace, but after a while, it lost its novelty. Being back in school in person with my friends is so much better. I was very grateful to be with my class for 6th grade even though we had to be masked and had to keep our distance.<\/p>\n
12. Final question: What do you do in your free time for fun? Any hobbies?<\/strong><\/p>\nIn my free time, I enjoy playing sports, working on cars, spending time with my family, and hanging out with friends.<\/p>\n
