Building a future with JAMISON COOPER
interview by KENNETH KIM
1. How long have you been in BITA? All four years. 2. What have you learned from your BITA experience? I think BITA has taught to take the skills we’ve learned in the class to apply to the real world. We learn traits like good teamwork and problemsolving skills. 3. What is your favorite project in BITA? I like the “design build” competitions that we do. We do our own competition in Orange County. 4. Are you planning on doing anything similar to BITA in college? Possibly. I want to try an internship related to BITA in college so that I can see if that’s something I would like to do later on in life. 5. What would you say to anyone who wishes to become involved in BITA? I’d say to just do it. Each year, there’s a different focus. The first year might not be your favorite, but the second year will be different in its focus, its message, and the skills that you fully learn. It’s always interesting. photo by INDIGO LOPEZ

6. Favorite memory from BITA? I think being in the class in general. All of the people in BITA are interesting and have cool stories. It’s a mix of working hard and learning a lot. 7. Are there any last words you would like to tell your BITA teacher, Pat Axtell? I’d say thank you. Not only have you given me a lot of advice, you’ve also taught me life skills and helped me grow as a person. June 2019 SENIOR ISSUE 15
