Mr. Kent
Someone Who Wants to Make a Difference in our Lives
November 19, 2020
COVID has had a huge impact on our society these past few months so I decided to interview principal Kent to ask how he’s been dealing with it.
“ C’mon wash your hand’s people, not just during COVID but always, it’s gross!”
Why did you want to be a principal?
“Well, I wanted to be able to make changes, to make it a better place.”
How has COVID affected you?
“It’s been hard especially having to wear a mask all day because they’re not very comfortable but I know their importance and I know they make a difference. We need to wear masks so we can stay in school.”
How long do you think we will be in school with the rising numbers?
“I honestly don’t know but I hope we stay in school for a while.”
When you were in high school, what did you want to do when you grew up?
“I knew I wanted to do something where I could make a difference and I thought being a principal, I could make changes and make school a better place to be.”
Have you always wanted to be a principal?
“Not always, I knew I wanted to do something that could make a difference but I initially didn’t know what.”
Due to these stressful times, how have you worked to stay well – to keep a good mindset?
”My daughter is approaching two and a half years old. Our routine involves a ton of outside time: pushing her in our jogging stroller, pulling in a bike buggy, hikes in Dolliver, etc. It keeps us all healthy and sane. That being said, my resting heart rate has significantly increased since mid-August. According to my heart monitor. Despite this stressful year, you should make the most of this year -you only live once.”
