Nicole Healy: What was the best part of high school?

Jackie Aronin: The best part of high school was probably getting involved in athletics, it helped me “spread my wings” because I didn’t go to school in Naugatuck before high school and it helped me venture out and meet new people.

NH: What was the worst part?

JA: Going from a school where my class had 50 kids in it to a high school like this, the worst part was definitely the amount drama that goes on and how much time it takes from your studies or athletics.

NH: What is one regret you have?

JA: I regret not joining some clubs earlier, i didn’t start until junior and senior year and I wish I had joined them sooner.

NH: If you could do one thing you liked over again, what would you choose?

JA: I would restart softball season from freshman year. I would do all the hills and all the sprints, I’d do it all again.

NH: Is there a teacher or staff member that you have gotten close with?

JA: Mr. Wesche and I have gotten somewhat close, it’s kind of like having another father on school grounds, and I like having him here.

NH: What are your plans for next year?

JA: I plan to continue playing softball at Utica College in upstate New York, and study to be a physical therapist.

NH: what are you most excited about for college?

JA: Definitely playing softball, and also not living at home. I’m excited to venture out from a small town.
