By Truman Martin – Staff Reporter

Mr. Sweeney has been teaching health at Jonathan Law High School for 20 years and has taught his students how to lead a healthy lifestyle. Advocate Staff Reporter Truman Martin interviewed Sweeney about the school year.

Truman Martin: How are you feeling about the school year so far?

Mr. Sweeney: Best way to describe it is hit and miss. Some days have been great while others, not so good.

TM: Have you picked up any new hobbies during the pandemic?

MS: No new hobbies that I can think of. However, I am trying new things with my old hobbies like new recipes because I like to cook. 

TM: How have you adjusted to teaching students this year?

MS: Again, hit and miss. I think the students have been so patient with us teachers this year. There’s no guarantee on Technology, but we do what we can with what we got.   

TM: What is your opinion on the new health adjustments made this year where each class is 0.25 credits?

MS: I am starting to like it a lot more than I did. It feels more structured, more organized.

TM: What is one thing you would say to the incoming freshman next year?

MS: Learn about time management!
