Introducing Jack- our 2019 MERO student coordinator! Jack participated in the MERO program of 2017 and is now back in a leadership position. We are very excited to have him! To help you get to know Jack better we have a short interview with him below. Question: What grade are you in?
Jack: I am a Junior this year at M-A. Question: What MERO event are you most excited for? Jack: The trip to Monterey! I want to see the animals again and spend time in nature and at the beach. Question: What was the best part about participating in MERO in 2017? Jack: The sandwiches!* And going to Jasper Ridge. I liked seeing the animal prints, bones, and the scientific cameras. I liked using the camera traps to see what types of animals live there. Question: Why are you excited about being the MERO 2019 student coordinator? Jack: I will be able to help people that do not speak English and help them be better in English and encourage them to stay in school. I can also encourage them to learn more about science if that is something they want to do. Question: What do you like to do when you are not at school or MERO? Jack: I like to go on long bike rides and fix bikes. I also like to spend time with friends and eat or help them fix their bikes. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I work at McDonalds which is good for me because I get to practice my English with a lot of different people. Thank you Jack! Stay tuned for a video tour with Jack at Jasper Ridge coming later this season! *Jack is a very enthusiastic eater of MERO's famous ham and cheese sandwiches. Many students share his enthusiasm for the sandwiches.
