October 20, 2015
Andre Prystupa (senior) vs. Alan Mendez (freshman)
When was the last time you tried something new?
Prystupa: “Last month, I tried singing at the Thespian Club’s Cafe Night.”
Mendez: “Yesterday, I was at Potato Corner and instead of French Fries, I got tater tots.”
Describe your goals for this school year.
Prystupa: “Mainly to graduate but as well as finishing in the top 15% of my class. I hope to keep up my grades and finish the best I can.”
Mendez: “I would like to do as many mandatory classes as possible so I won’t have to do them in my later years.”
Who inspires you to do well in school?
Prystupa: “My mother, she loves education and encourages me to take classes at Pierce College when I’m not doing anything. For her, there’s always something to learn.”
Mendez: “My mom inspired me to succeed in school because if I don’t, she’ll get mad.”
What would you do different if you were reborn?
Prystupa: “I would try to cherish the little things and spend more time with my lost loved ones.”
Mendez: “If I was reborn, I’d pay more attention in my math classes so it wouldn’t be so hard today. I would also start a homework schedule that I would stick to.”
If you could ask one person, dead or alive, one question, who would you ask and what would you ask?
Prystupa: “I would ask ‘Che’ Guevara why did he enter into so many revolutions and why did he risk his life for his belief.”
Mendez: “If I were to ask one person one question, I would ask any dead person what happens after you die.”
What does it mean to be truly happy?
Prystupa: “Being truly happy is appreciating the things you already have; it’s feeling loved and feeling like you belong.”
Mendez: “I believe that happiness is having no worries.”
