I do it for me.TA: Was there ever a time in your life when you weren’t on point in your studies?JZ: Yeah, first to third form. Well, back then I aimed for mediocrity and tried to get a prize but now I just try to the best I can.TA: What is your favourite subject and why?JZ: My favourite subject is Physics, because it is very easy to relate it to the real world as you can actually see it in real life as it is occurring.TA: Where do you see yourself five years from now?JZ: Probably in college at UWI pursuing either Medicine or Engineering.TA: Are there any philosophies that you live by?JZ: Yes AGE QUOD AGIS – whatever you do, do it wellTA: Is there anyone that inspires you?
