Met Dev, a rising 9th grader from DCVS. We had a chance to chat with him this summer to discuss the coming school year and learn a little more about him...
If you could design your own class, what would it be about?
"I would love to create a Health & PE class, as a required freshman class to help us with our nutrition. It would help us decide what is good for our health and help prepare students for their after school sports as they are somewhat tired doing their schoolwork."
What’s one thing you’re excited—or nervous—about starting high school?
"I’m really nervous about going in a in-person class environment because I’ve spent so much time in DCVS that I’m totally adjusted to the online classroom environment as well as doing my work at home."
What’s a hobby or talent you have that most people don’t know about?
"My big talent is that I’m a Pi champion."
(It's true...he can recite over 200 digits of Pi!)
If you could have lunch with any fictional character, who would it be and why?
"I would have lunch with Sheldon Cooper from Young Sheldon because I would love to hear about his experience jumping into high school from elementary school and his smartness"
How do you hope to grow or change over the next four years?
"I would like to grow by improving my reading skills which I have somewhat improved throughout my previous school years."
