Servite Scholar-Athlete of the Week (2/10/20)
Miguel Ponce
Senior
Soccer
GPA: 4.06
What is your favorite subject? Why? There are too many to choose from, but my favorite is probably my Calculus class. Big shout out to my 5th period. We are always ready to learn and the class is very fun considering the subject is not the easiest. We have a good time while still learning a lot.
What teacher has most impacted you here at Servite? Why? The teacher that impacted me the most is the Catholic Man of the Year. Yes, you guessed it, Mr. Goodwin. He always kept me in check and is like a father figure to me. He is a humble and strong man.
Advice for freshmen on how to balance the academic and athletic rigors at Servite: This is probably obvious, but don’t wait until the last minute to do things. Give yourself time. After you are done with your sport, go home and do your homework. Trust me, you will have more free time than you think. Also, communicate with your teachers and coaches, they’ll understand.
What else are you involved in at Servite? I have been involved with Kairos in a variety of capacities. I have attended the retreat and also served on the leadership team working in the kitchen.
