Servite Scholar-Athlete of the Week (10/7/19)
Derek Fuentes
Senior
Football
GPA: 4.62
What is your favorite subject? Why? Math is my favorite subject. I like to use my brain to problem solve and find solutions.
What teacher has most impacted you here at Servite? Why? Mr. Powers, Dr. Eng
and Mr. Van Dyk have impacted me most. All of these teachers created a fun yet rigorous class environment. I struggled in their classes but felt as though I was gaining a lot of knowledge and therefore was able to enjoy every aspect of their classes.
Advice for freshmen on how to balance the academic and athletic rigors at Servite: Servite academically is pretty difficult, so I would advise freshmen to always do their best and pay attention during class. Do not slack off! Rather, put all your effort into school before sports. Be a student before the athlete and it will make your life at Servite easier.
What else are you involved in at Servite? I am part of the Priory Leadership Program. I am an Assistant Prior who leads the class during priory periods.
