Meet Your Homecoming Court! Kevin Mao

What are you passionate about? What are some interests that you have? 

I think Irvington’s a very friendly place, I think Irvington provides a very nice friendly environment, and although sometimes tough, the people are very friendly and outgoing. I like how people are very passionate about what they are involved in, such as how some people are very involved in Deca or Debate, and I think that when your passions come through and like when you are able to connect with people around you about your passions, it’s really great. I think My passion is, I’m involved in a lot of stem-related clubs on campus, as well as DECA, and I think I’ve found a lot of similar people through DECA. 

What defines you in terms of your niche on campus? 

I don’t know if I would put myself in a niche, I don’t know, I try my best to connect to a bunch of people. Idk, next question haha?

Have you found any new passions since starting high school? 

I think while I was in Junior high, I never really, I never really mentioned much outside of stem-related clubs, so like joining DECA and doing a lot more business-related stuff, I found I was also more into that, and also during my time at Irvington I feel like I have made a lot of friend that I don’t really think I would have made earlier, so I kinda appreciate that. 

Favorite Memory? 

I’m trying to think, probably something from DECA, I don’t really know, most of my memories are outside of school from the past four years, 

Plans after high school?

I’m not really set on any career goal perse, like I don’t really think of it like that, I have a lot of career interests, and I plan on still exploring those in college and see what I really want to go into, and so yeah, I’m not really set on one thing but rather I’m still exploring my interests, but definitely, one day I want to somehow, one day give back to Irvington, i know, it’s so cliche, but i definitely want to do that. I’m pursuing physics.
