Senior Interview

Anthony Alexander

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with North Quincy High School senior Anthony Alexander to ask him a few things about his experiences at North Quincy High. I started out the conversation by asking a few questions about his freshmen year. Anthony vocalized how it felt to be a freshman and what he was like as one. He started by stating how it felt to walk into his first day of high school, “ It was a little scary, but I felt confident at the same time because I knew most of the seniors at that time.” He further explained how this was a helpful thing for getting comfortable in his new learning environment. When asked to describe his freshman year self he responded with, “I was a chunka who was a little shy but at the same time was outgoing.” When discussing freshmen year self he stated how he is no longer that same boy.

Anthony is one of those standout students who simply does it all. Anthony participated in many clubs and teams throughout his four years of high school. Specifically football, lacrosse, band, student council, and even drama. There is no doubt that his involvement in these organizations have made an impact on the North Quincy community. Along with his own impact he exclaimed the impact some had on his life while attending North. Anthony talked about english teacher Noreen Holland, and the positive impact she had and continues to have on his everyday life, stating “She was always there for me, and kept  me laughing with her great sense of humor.” Along with teachers Anthony said how fortunate he was to make some great friends that he will have for a lifetime. His favorite memory included meeting new people while dancing in the Sound of Music sophomore year.

When asked about what he will miss the most about North Quincy High, his response was simple, “The atmosphere, the support, and positivity that is given by all.” Anthony concluded with some advice for incoming freshmen students, “Get involved with everything and don’t be influenced in a negative way by others, be yourself.” Over all it is clear that Anthony Alexander had a positive influence on the North Quincy community, and the North Quincy community had a positive influence on him.
