Jeffrey Andrews is a sophomore here at Arlington High School, and from my recent interview with him, I’ve learned that he makes a good contribution to the student body while enjoying himself with intricate hobbies and interests.

In school, “Math and science are definitely my favorite subjects,” he states. “I’ve enjoyed learning about the world around me ever since I was a kid and I enjoy the classes becoming more and more advanced…I admire Mr. Berg’s intelligence of sciences and I hope to one day have such a great understanding. His knowledge has influenced me to learn more and more.” Later on, he said that he’s “very excited to take higher level math and science classes such as AP Chem, physics, and calculus.”

Outside of school, Jeffrey is an avid hockey player. He plays for the 18u A1 Silvertips and has overall played hockey for 9 years. “Jeffrey is a beast at hockey,” says senior Edward Radion, who has attended multiple games he has played in. “He slays.” Last year, Jeffrey and his team won the championship for their league, with him scoring the majority of the goals that season. When he’s not playing hockey, he’s working on Avenged Sevenfold solos and riffs on guitar. He’s played guitar for roughly three years and he likes to play music that revolves around his favorite genres: Rock and Metal.

After a year of high school, he believes he has a better grasp on high school. “I’m definitely more comfortable as a sophomore, even though I felt very welcome as a freshman. It probably deals with the everlasting hierarchy of high school class.” Furthermore, his older sister, Alexa, has been able to help him with how to plan out his schooling career. “Having a supportive older sister has been helpful during my school years. Ever since elementary school she has had my back she has had my back and has helped me with whatever I needed. Even last year she helped me show me the ropes of the high school.”
