staff profile: alexander chow-yen

Junior Alexander Chow-yen's most memorable Metro moment was when Metropolitan school switched buildings from Blake Street [Leeder Hill in Hamden] to [its current location] at 115 Water Street , he mentioned that he was overly-excited about the new move and couldn't wait to see how things would go in the new atmosphere of learning.

When Alexander was asked what his favorite hobbies were , he quickly blurted out to me FOOTBALL! Anxious to tell me why, he mentioned that it's a way to relieve his anger in a positive way and that he's been playing this sport for three years now and wishes to continue playing during college. As the interview continued my curiosity for Alexander's future began to ponder in my mind so i quickly asked him...

What are your plans for the future? He took a brief pause and thought to himself for a moment as he rubbed his bearded chin and looked up in the air as if he were dazing at the stars and said I would  like to go to college for computer sciences. As we began to wrap up this interview my last question to Alexander was " If you could invite anyone to dinner living or dead who would it be and why?"

He then took a long sigh and said, "My grandmother." His facial expression quickly changed , he looked down at the shiny white tiled floor and looked at himself in the reflection of the floor as if he could imagine his grandmothers warm face and elaborated on to say, "There's just so many things I never knew about her that if she were still alive I would love to sit down and talk to her."
