With the school year off and running, I gathered some students to interview and asked them questions about their goals for this school year as well as their plans after graduation.

Luis Lanos (12)

Q: What are your goals for this school year?

A: “My goal is to try to graduate early and make new friends but not freshmen because they are a hassle”.

Q: How are going to make that goal possible?

A: By taking e2020 and passing my regular classes. 

Q: Plans after graduation?

A: I really don’t have plans because we’re trying to see if we’re going to continue living here but mostly go to college. No college in mind but I want something that sparks my interest. I want to be an engineer or a real estate agent. It’s not for money but to explore new places as a real agent and by doing Engineering I will be learning technology. 

Deniz Ortiz (11)

Q: What are your goals for this school year?

A: One of my biggest goals is to pass my classes. And to actually focus in school because last year I was slacking. And not doing my work.

Q: How are you going to make that goal possible?

A: By putting my phone away because my phone is my distractor.

Q: Plans after graduation?

A: I want to take a gap year and work for college. I want to study forensics crime investigation. I want to go to college in Illinois. Because I want to be someone in the future. I have always been into crime investigation and watched a lot of true crimes on my own time. And also want to help families and give them closure.
