Do you want to get anything done before freshman year is over?
“Hopefully I can bring up my math grade. It has already improved since the beginning of last semester, so I will keep working hard to keep [the grade] where it is.”
What do you think about 2018?
“2018 was one of the better years, but hard in itself. It was difficult to leave some of my friends in middle school, but I am happy to meet new people. I think everybody can [benefit] from meeting new people, and making new friends.”
What are your 2019 resolutions?
“My resolutions are a bit weird, but one of them is to take care of a plant. One of my friends gave me a skinny tree and I’m hoping to keep it alive. So far, the tree’s leaves have been drooping but I have moved it toward the sunlight to hopefully keep it alive throughout the year.”
