Senior Kyle entered Baron Banner on a whim because his counselor said he needed the class, but he quickly learned to enjoy it. He wants to make the most of it by soaking in as much information as he can from each of the Baron Banner members’ unique interests and views.
“During my time in Baron Banner, I was planning to transfer.” Kyle said. “I ended up changing my mind because I thought the class would be fun and I enjoyed the overall energy of it.”
Now, Kyle writes on hot topics such as the sexualization of Asian culture and COVID-19 science lab changes. You may find Kyle to be timid at first, but he has no problem pairing up with a buddy to add in an extra punch to an article.
“I would sum up my character as critical, antisocial, and friendly,” Kyle said. “Even though I enjoy smaller crowds and don’t talk to people that much, as time goes on, I get more comfortable. I find it easier to be myself and talk a lot more and socialize with the others around me.”
Kyle loves to play volleyball to stay healthy and read articles to continue expanding on his writing skills in his free time. Although most often, you’ll catch him on his computer keeping to himself playing video games. He even says his favorite place to be is his home because of its familiarity and its proximity to his computer.
“I really enjoy playing video games because of the social equality of it, as everyone is in the same situation as a person behind a screen and as for the genre it doesn’t really matter,” Kyle said.
Kyle’s favorite subjects in school that make school less of an obligation are science and history, because he finds their aspect of how they are a product of millenniums of expanded ideas appealing.
As a senior, Kyle needs to start planning ahead. His dream school is California State University, Long Beach, where he’ll pursue his dream job of becoming a computer engineer or video game developer.
