Congratulations to TYLER RUPERT in homeroom 213. You correctly guessed where last week's picture was and won a school store gift certificate.

Is there someone you know who you think the whole school should know about too? Recommend them for our weekly Student Spotlight. Each week we're looking to highlight one student who represents the values of the Wang. Maybe they helped. you in Math class or offered you a shoulder to cry on when you were feeling down. Perhaps this person makes everyone laugh or just puts their needs behind everyone else's all the time. Whatever the reason, we want to know them. Click the button and put your recommendation in. The Newsletter staff will choose one person each week.

Interview by Amy Maldonado

You were nominated because you are a kind student and you always help your peers out. Can you give us an example of how you are kind?

Um, a lot of times in Math class there are kids who don’t know what we’re doing so I try to explain it to them. They then understand it very well which helps them.

What motivates you?

If you're talking about what motivates me in school then it would be thinking about what I want.

What are you afraid of?

Going on bridges. I know it sounds silly, but I'm afraid they are going to collapse. Especially the one over McDonald's.

Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?

Ride a bike because I've been doing it since I was young and it’s probably the easiest.

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Hmmmm, I don’t know…..Oh, my mom makes this Greek lamb and potato meal that’s so good. I'd eat that anytime!

How would your friends describe you?

Um, funny, kind, caring. Some people say I may have RBF which I can agree with.

What would you do if you won the lottery?

Probably pay for my college and then pay for my sisters’ college if they’re lucky enough. Just, buy a mansion and sit at home all day.

If you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be?

I’d probably say my grandfather and my grandmother.

What's your favorite family tradition?

Like since we have Greek Easter we always make, like, 200 Easter cookies. It takes all day.

What song would you say best sums you up?

I don’t know. I don’t really listen to music. I’d rather just watch a TV show.
