JB: What are some of your accomplishments so far?

MT: A huge accomplishment of mine so far is not missing any credits to graduating.

JB: You’re close to graduating. How does that make you feel?

MT: It makes me feel good, but also sad because I like coming to school.

JB: What is something you are not prepared for this year?

MT: If the teachers are being extra hard on us since we’re not sophomores anymore.

JB: Do you plan on getting involved with the school in any way? This could involve sports, clubs, or anything else.

MT:  Not that I know of right now, but maybe in the future I might join a sport.

JB: Are there any sports that you’ve been thinking of, or might have caught your attention?

MT: I’m really interested in tennis 

JB: When you think back to freshman year, how much of you has changed?

MT: I still act the same from freshman year, but I probably pay more attention in class now.
