Student INTERVIEW 11 532 • Summer/Fall 2018 James with his uncle after Prep's win over Hatch Valley during the 2018 State Soccer Tournament.
JAMES MARTINEK '19 Graduates in 2019 • Years at Sandia Prep Six Interests Theater, Science • Lion or Unicorn? Unicorn LIFE AT PREP How would you describe yourself as a student? Consistent, relaxed, aware, participatory, and interested. Why did you decide to pursue the theater arts while at Sandia Prep? Theater, I had known, was a perfect way to express oneself as something they are not and have fun with it. That was mostly what drew me to theater. Have any specific teachers, classes, or programs at Prep influenced you? Mr. Kelly, Mr. Polansky, and Mrs. James, because of their incredible teaching styles, have taught me more to the beauty of learning and wisdom than just the grades that come out of it. What do you plan to study in college? Why? I would like to study something in the field of biochemisty or molecular biology. Either that or computers. I love both of those areas. Where do you see yourself five years from now? In five years, I will be somewhere completely different than where I imagine myself in five years. That is part of the excitement for me – the anticipation of the ways I will change and grow during my time in college, and what new paths that will open for me in life. What would your dream job be? Why? As of now, my dream job would be bioengineering safe, reliable, and most important HARMLESS fuels for our world. Do you have a favorite Prep memory (so far)? One outstanding memory I have was the thrill and relief of guessing my unknown bacteria culture correctly on my last attempt in Mr. Polansky’s Bio 2 class. Is it important to have art (performing and visual) in school? If so, why? Without a doubt! Art is yet another piece that helps shape the puzzle of someone’s being. Without art, we are merely books, strewn with information and no way to interpret it or think of it in a different manner. Art is an outlet for the human soul, an outlet of self-expression and creativity. How has art shaped who are you today? Art, unfortunately, is not seen as a necessary part of an individual nearly as much as it should be. Fortunately, Prep realizes this, making some sort of art mandatory freshman year. For me, this has widened my horizons beyond a classroom school setting and into the vast world of art – for me, music. With college quickly approaching, how has Sandia Prep prepared you for life after college? Papers. Oh my god, papers. I know papers will be a constant task in college and the continuous writing requirements at Prep have given me a good taste of how that will be. FUTURE PLANS Which colleges are you considering right now? I am considering Oberlin, Kenyon, Dickinson, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, and UNM. James's "normal state" while waiting to see The Nutcracker at Popejoy Theater, an annual tradition for his family. OUTSIDE OF CLASS What hobbies do you enjoy when you have free time? Gaming, tennis, soccer, singing, fiddling around on the piano, reading a GOOD book, and spending time with friends and family. What are your passions? Camping, sports, learning, winning a game of poker, and Takis. • • • • • 532 • Summer/Fall 2018 12 Student PROFILE INTERVIEW
