A: I think people are trying to get mexican food off of me.
Q: If you do not go to SMCC, have you figured out its replacement?

A: I don’t think I need a clean slate, but I think it will be nice.
Q: What is your most regretful moment of high school?

A: I just wanna have enough money to support my kids, once they're out of house I will go back to school and get a senior certificate to have enough to have a middle income from the state, nothing too luxurious.
Q: Which year was the most enjoyable for you?
A: Uhh… I think freshman year was pretty good, this year was pretty good. Junior year I was most social. I hated sophomore year, everything online and everyone drifting apart. But yeah, this year was the best.

A: I think how I die. Because if I die peacefully in my sleep it’ll be just nice to know.
Q: New Year’s Resolution right now, bucket list?
A: I’d say pass all my classes with a 2.9 or 3.0 at least, make at least five new friends, pick up a new hobby, whether it be like an instrument, or something I used to do.
Q: What are your current hobbies?
A: I’ve been playing a lot of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom, a lot of Nintendo stuff, looking forward to the new Spiderman game. I do a lot of hiking, skiing. I used to skateboard, I don’t anymore because the skateboard broke; doesn’t roll anymore.
Q: What do you wish for your brother, Hector?

Q: Anyone you would like to thank?
A: Mrs. Null for helping me out and talking to me and stuff. Mr. Fudge, enjoyed both the classes of his I took, really sad he’s leaving. JMG teachers, took JMG all four years and picked up new things every year like time management, money management.
