Chosen for the first Senior Publications Spotlight is Morgan Blechschmid. She has been a student in the Brooklyn City School District for 13 years, dating back to preschool. Some of her hobbies include hanging out with her dog, Myla, and spending time with her family and friends. One interesting fact about Morgan is that she is a four-year Publications student and was in the initial pilot group for The Return of the Eye.
Q: What made you want to join the Publications class here at Brooklyn?
A: “I think I was just thrown into it as one of my ninth grade classes. I didn’t know what it was. I don’t think there’s any motivation behind it. I do love it, nonetheless. I really found a passion in this class, and Mr. Holko played a big part in this.”
Q: Would you ever want to pursue a career in Publications?
A: “Yes, I would want to do it as a backup plan if something doesn’t go as planned. I was and still am considering doing this.”
Q: What are some of your most memorable experiences throughout high school?
A: “Probably hanging out with friends and going to events like football games. Having fun with my friends and making memories with them is what it’s all about.”
Q: What are your thoughts about graduating from Brooklyn High School?
A: “I’m excited and scared, but I just want to be done because I’ve done my time here. Going out into the real world is kind of scary. And when I go to college, it’s going to be totally different than high school.”
Q: Who is one teacher that you want to thank for helping you get to this point?
A: “Mr. Holko because I was going in blindly as a freshman, and he stepped in as a big reinforcement for me. He kinda helped me and told me to buckle down. He’s like my school dad in a sense as he is for many other students as well.”
Q: What are your plans after high school?
A: “I’m going to The University of Findlay. I’m planning to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine.”
Q: What is your dream vacation?
A: “Italy because I am Italian. I feel like I have to.”
Q: If you could only eat one meal a day, what would it be?
A: “Mozzarella sticks with ranch.”
Q: How would you describe yourself in one word?
A: “Persistent!”
Q: What is your advice to next year’s senior class?
A: “Buckle down and take your grades seriously if you haven’t started already. Really try to focus, not just to get things correct but to understand the things that are being taught. Ask questions and be proactive. But also have fun because your last two years of high school are going to be the ones you remember the most, if not the entire four years. You’re going to want to have fun but also balance both your school and home life. If you have the opportunity to meet with counselors who can help you get into college and help with your applications, take advantage of it and ask questions about important things. I also want to add that you need to be involved with your school.”
Good luck Morgan! You will be missed.
