Q: What brought you to West Bloomfield?

A: “There are a few things that brought me to West Bloomfield and one of them was that they have really good athletic programs for basketball and track which are both sports that I do. Also, their steam program. I really like it because it’s towards the concept I like which has to do with engineering and science and technology.”

Q: Where did you go to school before?

A: “I used to go to Walnut Creek Middle School.”

Q: How is this school compared to the other school?

A: “This school, compared to my last school, is a lot better. It’s a lot more diverse and it offers a lot more classes that I’m interested in like the steam program.”

Q: What interests you at this school?

A: “I’m really interested in the basketball team and their program and, you know, doing that for a full 4 years because I want to get a scholarship and I’m really interested in their steam program because when I go to college and my job in the near future, I want a job with technology since that’s what the world is transitioning to.”

Q: What about basketball do you love?

A: “What I love about basketball is being able to have a good work ethic and work a part of a team and reach the goal to win, and it just feels like being a part of something bigger. And with engineering, I just love using my hands to make stuff or designing and just creating stuff and coming up with different things. And, you know, being really imaginative.”

Q: What’s a career idea you have for your future?

A: “I’ve changed my career ideas a lot but for one time I wanted to be a biomedical engineer; it’s like 

prosthetic robotic arms for people who might have lost limbs. But also, I was thinking about, like, some type of app designer or graphic design or something in that area.”

Q: How do you plan to strive to achieve those goals?

A: “As far as what I’m doing to strive for that goal is taking the classes here because they offer a lot of 

classes that can lead to that type and getting good grades in those classes so then maybe a college will look at me and look at the grades I got in those areas. Also, using basketball to get a scholarship to be able to go to college. And take those classes I want to take.”

Q: What college do you want to go to?

A: “I haven’t thought of a specific college yet, but I look into colleges like Lawernce Tech, and they have a really good program for engineering.”
