Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself and what hobbies/sports you do.
A: “My name is Maxine Wilkins and I’m a dancer, I dance for a couple hours a week. I’m also in orchestra, I play viola along with piano and bass guitar.”
Q: After spending a year with classmates virtually, what’s it been like to finally see people in person?
A: “It’s pretty fun to actually see them in person and connect over our old classes and new classes to learn more about them and their personalities.”
Q: Who helped you the most in getting through last year and why?
A: “Probably my brother because he helped me with my homework.”
Q: Describe something about coming back to school in person that has surprised you?
A: “The amount of homework that I have, it’s not too much, but it’s definitely different from last year.”
Q: Which of your classes are you most excited for and why?
A: “I am excited for orchestra because I really like playing music and learning more. I’m also excited a little bit for personal project to finish out my project and see how it goes, and I’m excited for Arabic because I have friends in that class.”
Q: What are your thoughts about personal project? When do you think you’ll get started on your work?
A: “I think i’ll get started this week or next week. I think it’s a very interesting concept and it’s a little vague because everyone can just choose their own thing and they could go any direction that they want with it, but I think that’s pretty cool so i’m excited.”
Q: If you could change one thing from your freshman self, what would it be?
A: “I would change how much I study, so I would be more prepared for this year especially.”
