What will you miss the most about high school?
Thomas: The things I will miss most about high school is being around my friends, teachers, baseball teammates and coaches. They have impacted me a lot through my four years of high school during school hours and even after school hours.
Is there a teacher or a class that you had at JFK that has influenced you personally?
A teacher that influenced me the most has to be Mr. Trenery because he’s helped me and guided me in the right direction in finding a job in the real world. Also, his class was the best and I had the most fun in sports history, and if I could, I would truly take his class again.
As all of the fun senior activities are coming up, which one are you looking most forward to and why?
I am looking forward to the senior trip at Frog Bridge Day Camp and being able to play beach volleyball, basketball and more with friends. Also, I’m looking forward to eat the food there. Hopefully it’s good.
If you could give your freshman self some advice, what would it be?
One piece I would give to my freshman year self is to do everything with 110%, even the little things. It matters so much even when you think it doesn’t. Giving it your all is something you would never regret. Just focus up and pay more attention in class, especially even when you think you already know.
What is one thing that you would recommend any underclassmen to do that you never did but wish you had done?
To not slack off with grades and even the grades for classes that aren’t graduation requirements. You should try your best even if you think you know what your plans are after high school. It’s good to maintain that GPA so you can go to good colleges if you change your mind someday.
What do you think your biggest struggle in high school was, and what do you think you learned from that?
For me it was algebra and I would try my very best on trying to learn the subject. Math and especially algebra isn’t my strong suit. Even though it didn’t really work out in the end, I still tried my best.
If you could relive any high school year, what would it be?
My sophomore year because I had the best teachers on my schedule that year. Also, baseball was very fun. Also, getting to meet a lot more people that I still am very close to now.
What was your biggest accomplishment at JFK?
My biggest accomplishment is making the baseball varsity roster. Playing baseball since I was a little kid, playing little league games to now, being on the varsity roster of the baseball team, playing first base is a dream come true honestly.
If you had senioritis, how hard did it hit you?
I definitely have senioritis and a very bad case of it, especially since its the end of the school year. With all the senior events coming up, I have just checked out awhile ago and just want to graduate already.
What was your favorite memory on the Kennedy Baseball Team?
My favorite memory was my freshman year when Kennedy went against STA in the GMC first round tournament game when we beat them and was for sure his favorite memory by far on that team.
If you could go back and play any other sport what sport would you play?
I would play football because I have always been a giants fan my whole life but never thought I was built to play the sport.I love the NFL and I really like college football and the Michigan wolverines. So if I did play football I would like to be a tight end because that position would fit me perfectly.
