What is something you wish you did during spring break?
“Although I’m very satisfied with my spring break, there is something I wish I had done more: playing badminton. My last year on the school team is coming to an end, and I am sure I will miss it a lot in the future, so playing more badminton during spring break was a missed opportunity.”
What is your least favorite part about spring break?

How does it feel to be back from spring break?
“It does ’not feel great to be back from spring break. It would have been better if we were not testing the week right after it. The new schedule for testing is pretty awful because we miss out on at least four hours of instruction for both English and Math due to SBAC testing. Three weeks straight of testing for juniors is just extremely bad. The only positive thing coming back from spring break is being able to see my friends again.”
What was something you wished to do during spring break:?
“Something I wished to do during spring break was to hang out with my friends. Unfortunately, I was unable not to do that because some of them were busy studying for the AP exams and doing other things. I was unable to make plans because no one could take me anywhere.”
What are you looking forward to academically, now that spring break is over?
“I am looking forward to reviewing previous content for the AP exams with my teachers. It is a great way to refresh my memory of all the material we learned all year.”

How do you feel about testing now that spring break is over?
“The testing so far hasn’t been that bad, but the schedule changes have been really confusing.”
What are your thoughts on becoming a senior as we approach the end of the school year?
