Henry Cichowski, Homer Jr. High<br />
School seventh-grader<br />
Henry Cichowski was chosen as Standout Student<br />
for his academic excellence.<br />
What is one essential you must have when<br />
studying and why?<br />
The one essential that I must have when<br />
studying would have to be quiet. I cannot focus<br />
if there is any distractions nearby. I can<br />
deal with things like pen-clicking, but people<br />
talking is really distracting.<br />
What do you like to do when not in school or<br />
studying?<br />
My favorite thing to do outside of school<br />
is playing baseball. I’ve been in love with the<br />
game for many years and I hope I always will.<br />
What is your dream job?<br />
My dream job is to play Major League<br />
Baseball. I want to attend the University of<br />
Louisville and eventually get drafted. That is<br />
the one thing that I want most in life.<br />
What are some of the most played songs on<br />
your iPod?<br />
Some of the most played songs on my<br />
phone are “Only One” by Kanye West and<br />
generally songs like that.<br />
What is one thing people don’t know about<br />
you?<br />
One thing people don’t know about me<br />
is that I play ukulele. I first learned to play<br />
from my dad three years ago and now I am<br />
pretty good at it.<br />
Whom do you look up to and why?<br />
I look up to Marcus Stroman, a pitcher<br />
on the Toronto Blue Jays. He always stays<br />
extremely positive no matter what. He is<br />
also 5’8”, and has a famous slogan, “Height<br />
doesn’t measure heart.” I’m short for my<br />
age, so I live by that saying.<br />
What do you keep under your bed?<br />
I don’t keep much under my bed. It’s<br />
mostly just spare pencils and a few books.<br />
Who is your favorite teacher and why?<br />
Mr. Mitchell has to be my favorite teacher.<br />
He’s a huge baseball fan and I can tell<br />
he loves to teach. That’s how I want to feel<br />
about my job when I’m older.<br />

What is your favorite class and why?<br />
My favorite class is PE because it helps<br />
me to wake up in the morning and it helps<br />
keep me in good shape.<br />
What is one thing that stands out about<br />
your school?<br />
One thing that stands out about my school<br />
is that we have had a very good baseball<br />
team over the years.<br />
What extracurricular(s) do you wish your<br />
school had?<br />
I wish the school had a writing club where<br />
kids could write stories and share them to each<br />
other when they’re finished writing them.<br />
What’s your morning routine?<br />
I wake up, eat breakfast, watch MLB Network,<br />
shower, get dressed, brush my teeth,<br />
and say my farewells before I walk out the<br />
door.<br />
If you could change one thing about school,<br />
what would it be?<br />
I know that this probably gets talked about<br />
a lot, but 7th and 8th graders need recess. We<br />
still need a time to express our energy.<br />
What is your favorite thing to eat in the<br />
cafeteria?<br />
My favorite thing to eat is my own lunch.<br />
I don’t ever get PTO lunch.<br />
What is your best memory from school?<br />
My favorite memory from school is whenever<br />
I meet a new friend. School can get<br />
tough, and the more people there for you, the<br />
better.<br />
