Q: What is your favorite subject or class, and why? What do you enjoy learning about the most?
JTC: It's really difficult to choose one class since all my classes are enjoyable, but if I had to pick a favorite subject or class, I would have to say History. I find history interesting because there have been many events that occurred in the past that makes us live in the society we have today. Whether that be through a riot, a protest, a court case, or a war, it becomes interesting to see how people have progressed from now to back then. It's also interesting to compare how they accomplished things from back then to how we currently resolve issues.

Q: Do you know what you would like to do after high school? Can you share any future goals?
JTC: To be honest, I'm still unsure of what I'd like to do after high school, but I do know there are some things I can say for sure. I know that I want to go back to California and go to college in California, but I'm not sure what I want to major in. A career that I want to aim for in the future is to be a lawyer. I'm not exactly sure what type of lawyer I would want to be since there are many fields to specialize in. If I had to think of potential fields to focus on, I would want to focus on criminal defense, civil, or immigration law.

Q: What does South's motto, Work Hard, Be Kind, mean to you?
JTC: South's motto, Work Hard, Be Kind, means that students should work hard while also being kind to their peers. At the end of the day, everyone will grow and have their own ideas for what they wish to accomplish in their futures, but in the process of doing that, people should also have empathy and respect for others. Not everyone will have the same mindset as another student, but each student will put in as much effort as they want to accomplish something, meaning others should respect that decision rather than judging the student as a whole.

Q: Is there someone at South Hunterdon who has been a role model? What have they done to inspire you as a student?
JTC: There isn't really a singular person who has been a role model to me. Rather, I feel like it's mainly my classmates who give me the most inspiration. Whether a student is a close friend of mine or is someone I rarely talk to, I can see how they work together to help each other succeed, ask questions to overcome their weaknesses, learn from their mistakes, and much more. In my classes, I see how they try their best to achieve their goals, whether that is through making quizlets to memorize key terms or making full-on study plans for upcoming tests. Seeing how my classmates aim to accomplish their goals inspired me to set up my own goals to be successful.
