Senior Spotlight: Alder Jakovac
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alder Jakovac is a senior attending Mendocino High School with a knack for horses and her chilled-out-but-never-slacked-a-day-in-her-life attitude. As for her freetime, Alder enjoys riding horses, playing Red Dead Redemption 2, making jewelry, and drawing (when she has time). This interview also took place in James Eastman\u2019s room of the Community School, right after Fionna\u2019s.

\tAlder\u2019s favourite subject has been math because \u201csome of you just get it, and it clicks, and you know how to do it.\u201d Her least favourite subject was PE. She elaborated with \u201cjust because I\u2019m not traditionally athletic.\u201d I asked if there was any specific reason, and she answered no. \u201cI\u2019ve hated PE since, like, forever\u2026 I did it for three years, one year of PE and two years of ultimate.\u201d Alder Jakovac\u2019s ideal teacher is \u201csomeone who respects their students and has realistic expectations, and doesn\u2019t blame the students for not understanding things.\u201d She went on to point out Sos, Eastman, and Marshall Brown for meeting this criteria.

\tAlder\u2019s biggest challenge thus far has been \u201ca certain class that made me realize that some people have very unrealistic expectations.\u201d At the same time, Alder also recommended that future high school students \u201cplease respect your teachers. Please. They\u2019re just trying to help you, most of them.\u201d The primary lesson school has taught her is that \u201cyou will not get along with everyone.\u201d

Jakovac attends Mendocino High School and has all four years of her high school career. She explained this decision further: \u201cWhen I was a freshman, I didn\u2019t really see myself as the type that would be at the Comm School, like a touchy-feely sort of person, and then as time went on, I saw myself as more of a person that would be at the Comm School because I realized it didn\u2019t have to be like that. Also my parents wouldn\u2019t let me\u2026 I still have that argument with them.\u201d For her next step in life, Alder has committed to Sonoma State, though if she gets off the waitlist at Davis she will immediately switch her sights there.

\tWith our interview ending, I prompted her with this question: if a penguin walked through that door wearing a sombrero, what would he say and why is he here? Her answer: \u201cHe\u2019s gonna say \u2018I should be wearing a beanie\u2019 because sombreros are for hot places!\u201d When asked how many pennies would fit into James Eastman\u2019s classroom, she responded, \u201ca lot of pennies, like a billion pennies.\u201d
