Q: What is the most challenging task as a senior?
A: “Being a student-athlete and trying to balance school, sports, and the personal life, such as friends and family.”

A: “I learned that I needed to keep an organized and consistent schedule in order to succeed.”
Q: What do you wish was different about your time in high school?

Q: What friendships or connections have been the most meaningful to you during high school?
A: “Some meaningful friendships I made were with Miguel, Aidan, Rocco, and Isaiah.”
Q: What is something that you will miss about high school baseball at BHS?
A: “I will miss doing LIVE at-bats in baseball practice. The competitiveness between the guys is unforgettable.”
Q: If you could travel anywhere for a month, where would it be?
A: “I would go to Los Angeles because there are a lot of famous people there, and I would love to meet them.”
Q: What does success look like to you?
A: “Success to me is having a high and stable income, having a wife and kids, and being good at whatever I do in my life.”
Q: Out of your entire school career, what teacher has been the biggest inspiration and/or influence to you?
A: “Definitely, Mr. Holko! Mr. Holko wants to see you succeed, and he not only says it but makes sure that you’re on the right path. He knows how to take a joke and is not a snowflake.”
Thank you Steven for taking the time to answer these questions. We hope that you have a great rest of your senior year and future ahead as a firefighter/EMT.
