Faces of ECHS

Interviewer: Kenneth Gelasio  Interviewee: Benny Choi Interviewer: How is your personal life affected/influenced by your work? Choi: Well...

I have the freedom to be able to do that. Um, and to add on to that, I think it's pretty cool that there are opportunities as a sub to study, to do research on things that I like to do, even while I'm at school. Whether it's at lunch or during a free period. I think that's really nice and I think another part was... I guess being able to participate in some of the sports, uh I really appreciate running with cross country or playing badminton in the spring. I think that keeps me healthy...
