November Bears of the Month
Isaac Zahrt
What are your plans after high school?
I'm planning on going to a four-year university to study mechanical engineering.
What did you enjoy most about high school?
I've enjoyed all of the opportunities at St. Joe. Whether it be AP classes for college credit or being able to participate in pep rallies, there are always lots of things to do at our high school.
What are two things that are on your bucket list?
Two things on my bucket list are skydiving and going on the world’s biggest swing in New Zealand (I saw it on TikTok once and it’s been a goal of mine ever since).
If you could have anything in the world, what would it be, and why?
Honestly, I just want a comfortable life. I want to make enough to have a nice house and never have to stress about money.
Who has influenced you the most, and why?
My music mentors have had the greatest influence in my life because they have given me the opportunities to do what I love to do: music. I’ll always be thankful for them because they have gotten me to where I am today.

What are your plans after high school?
After high school I plan to attend a four-year university, probably GVSU or Western. I want to be far enough away to be "on my own" but not too far away that I can't come back when I miss home. I'm not 100% sure what I will be majoring in but I've always liked math and science. I've been thinking about nursing, psychology, and physical therapy.
What did you enjoy most about high school?
The thing I enjoy most about high school is the people. Between the students and staff, there are a wide variety of personalities at SJHS and I love talking to new people and gaining new perspectives as well as forming new relationships. I also feel like I have a very supportive group of friends that make it easier to get up in the morning.
What are two things that are on your bucket list?
Traveling internationally: specifically Greece or Italy. And I really want to go watch Wimbledon in London!
If you could have anything in the world, what would it be, and why?
If I could have anything in the world it would probably be a bunch of plane tickets (and $) so that I could travel the world with my family and friends. I want to go to places like Bora Bora, London, and Rome.
Who has influenced you the most, and why?
Someone who has influenced me a lot during my time at SJHS is psych Hayden. He taught me a lot not only about psychology and the world around me but also about myself and why I am the way I am. I really enjoyed his class because he made the atmosphere judgment-free and fun.
